A crane consists of a quarter-circular bar that lies in a plane parallel to the xz plane with a low-friction collar at point B that may slide on the bar. The forces supported by cables AB and BC are 30 lb and 1700 lb, respectively, and the coordinates of point A are given in the figure. For the value of the angle a = 0°, determine expressions for the forces the two cables apply to the collar at point B.
