2. A 150 slug box is situated 4.25 feet from the fulcrum of a horizontal plank, as shown in the figure. 1.25 feet on the left side of the fulcrum, two cables with identical physical properties are connected and attached to the ground, as they provide rotational equilibrium to the structure. Determine the forces acting on cables A and B, as the ground and the two cables form an equilateral triangle. M = 150 slugs B A df dg
