Problem 2 [20 Pts] y The cables AB and AC are attached B (5, 6, -2) m at the support on the floor at A. The C (-2, 5, 1) m magnitudes of the tension forces in the two cables are TAB = 300 N and TAC = 450 N, respectively. a) Express the forces TAB and Tac in terms of their components. X b) Define the total force exerted by the two cables at point A. Problem 3 [20 Pts] www A An object with a mass m = 250 kg is suspended from the ceiling at point A with a weight-less rope, while an athlete is pulling with a second rope, attached at point B, applying a force F. The whole system is in equilibrium. Given the geometry shown in the figure, draw the appropriate free body diagram and then calculate the magnitude of the force F applied by the athlete.
