3. A truck-mounted crane in Figure 3 is moving a 1200-lbf concrete block on a construction site. The person at point B is helping the crane keep the block in static equilibrium before it is lowered to the ground. The frictionless connection ring at point C has a mass of 0.155 slugs and a = 24°. Calculate the magnitudes of the tension force in cable AC and the force the person applies through the rope BC. (Notice that the cable that connects the 1200-lbf weight to the connection ring is vertical.) OO OA 1200 lbf a B Figure 3 A person helping the crane balance a 1200-lbf block.
