Homework Statement


The mass of the weight is 600[kG], the tension in the wire 3000[N]. what is the force of reaction at C

Homework Equations


Disassembling of forces using pitagoras formula

The Attempt at a Solution


The vertical reaction at C:
$$3000\cdot \sin 53^0+5886=8282$$
In the book 8480
