The cables are tied at A and loaed as shown
Determine the range of values of P for which both cables remain taut !

I have an idea on the AC rope. Since the tension force T must not be zero on the horizontal line (or the line along AC), therefore, the min force of P > 0. Because when P>0, the horizontal component is not zero. Is it true? How about AB
