Hi, I been trying to do this exercise, visually it looks very basic but I just need some guidance, thanks in advance :).
Calculate the Force AB in Cable and the angle(theta symbol) for support system shown.
Point A pinned and Point B connected as a cable at an angle( not given ), Point B with a Force of 100 going to the right and a Weight of 200, like displayed below.
A
\_________>F=100
|B
|
|
|
[W]=200
[tex]\Sigma[/tex]Fy=0
[tex]\Sigma[/tex]M=0
2nd step- Guidance needed at this point, is this the right direction?
[tex]\Sigma[/tex]Fxy= 100-200=0
