Calculating Resultant Load on a Structure with a Tensioned Rope

[Trent]

Hello all,

Can somebody please help me with the following question?

I have a rope tied to the top of the building, this drops down vertically 22m onto a balcony which is 15m wide.
The rope is then passed over the balcony edge and then hung vertically.

The load applied to the rope is 15 kN.

The angle of the rope from the top of the building to the balcony is 33 degrees from vertical.

My question- how do I work out the resultant load acting on the balcony edge applied from the rope to the structure ?
I hope I have explained this enough...

Thanks and appreciate any help with this!

Is this a homework question?

Did you draw a sketch with all relevant forces?

Yes a home work question.

I hope that this helps
