A hot air balloon is tied to the ground by the 3 cables as shown. The tension in cable A is measured at TA = 171 lb, and runs from a coordinate at the base with x= 8 ft, and y = -5 ft. to the base of the balloon with a coordinate of z= 14 ft. Cable B has an angle of a = 27°, and cable C has the coordinate is stretched at the given angle in the x-z plane. What is the up-lift force of the hot air balloon? (the force of the hot air balloon pulling up)
