1.0 Two cables are used to secure the overhang boom in position and support the 1500
N load. If the resultant force is directed along the boom from point A towards O,
Determine (Figure 1)
a) the magnitudes of the resultant force and forces FB and FC..
b) the magnitude of the projected component of force FAC acting along the y axis.
(Set x = 3 m and z = 2 m)
