2.123 A container of weight
W
is suspended from ring
A
. Cable
BAC
passes through the ring and is attached to fixed supports at
B
and
C
. Two forces
P=\Pi
and
Q=Qk
are applied to the ring to maintain the container in the position shown. Knowing that
W=270lb
, determine
P
and
Q
. (Hint: The tension is the same in both portions of cable
BAC
.)
?
P=36.0lb;Q=54.0lb
