4: A pole AB is being lifted using cables BC and BD. When the pole is tilted at an angle of 60⁰ from the horizontal, the resultant of the cable forces and the load W, acts at point A. The length of the pole = 12 m. Load W = 35 kN is at the mid-length of the pole. Calculate the tension in cables BC and BD, and the reaction at A. With complete fbd.
