Just gone through it based on BC being the steel bar and came out with 1.4112 kN being the compressive force. On part b got 11mm (to the nearest mm) being the minimum diameter? Very unsure about the second one coz don't know if i was using the right equation but it sounds kinda right? Can anyone...

Thanx for the help, I've now shown the tension in the cable but am still confused about the compressive force! I forgot to write out that this was the intro to the question: A shop sign weighing 1.5kN is to be hung from point B on a support fixed to the shop wall AC, as shown in the figure...

Hey everyone, Please can someone help me with this question coz I am tryna help out a friend who can't do it but I am completely stumped! a) Draw an appropriate force diagram for the forces acting at B (only) and use the Sine Rule to show that the tension in the cable is 1.3014kN to 4...
