Homework Statement

Cable ABC has a length of 5 m. Determine the position x and the tension developed in ABC required for equilibrium of the 100 kg sack. Neglect the size of the pulley


Homework Equations


TABCosθ + TBCCos[itex]\phi[/itex]=0
TABSinθ + TBCSin[itex]\phi[/itex]=980N
I also have the distance from C to the pulley (in x direction) is 3.5-x

The Attempt at a Solution


My attempt at the solution so far is
TABCosθ = TBCCos[itex]\phi[/itex]
I can rearrange the trig functions themselves, but I'm missing a height component, but I don't even know if that's the right track.

I have also managed to introduce a few new variables. I have introduced h+H=5 (The length of the rope) and y and y+0.75
 
Consider the 'free body' diagram for a thin vertical slice of the rope directly under the pulley (thin compared with radius of pulley). What does this tell you about the tension each side?
 
Tension is the same. I tried to find similar triangles and worked with them but I am getting equations with x^4.
