Find Tension in Rope: 45deg, No Moments @A

[krnhseya]

Homework Statement

Find the tension of the rope. Theta is 45 degrees and A cannot support any moments.

Homework Equations

Drag=0.5*Cd*(U^2)*A*rho

The Attempt at a Solution

While everything is known, I am unsure of the setup. I initially thought:

T*(cos(45deg))=Drag

But it doesn't work if point A can't support any moments...Thanks.

BTW, all variables in drag equation are given.

It seems we have two torques here. So,

(Drag force)*(some distance, not given?) = T*cos(theta)*(2m)
