Hey guys, this is the question i have been givin. i have been stuck on it for a while now, and i keep getting overly large numbers?
such as over the 10000N range.. and according to the ansers its no where near that figure,
i have about 2 pages of scrap notes i tried working out,

in the simultaneous way and also the axis rotation way, we have to do it in.
im new to this so :S

thanks guys.

  • Diagram of a 400 kg load hanging from point C, supported by cables CA and CB attached to ceiling points A and B, with angles of 30 degrees at A and 45 degrees at B. Handwritten notes say axis rotation and simultaneous.

this is what i have come up with? but i can just see I am all over the shop?
i think I am having a real bad week!

  • Handwritten force-equilibrium working on lined paper: a free-body diagram with forces A, B and C at angles of 15 and 60 degrees, followed by component equations for B and A and a rotated-axis sketch labelled simultaneous.

  • Handwritten working on lined paper titled Simultaneous, solving two force-balance equations for unknowns A and B, with C = 400 x 9.81 = 3924 N, ending with B = 13070.4 and a question mark.
