Transcribed Image Text:**Problem Statement: Cable System Analysis**
Consider the cable system shown in FIGURE P3-18 of the textbook. Given that:
- \(\theta = 45^\circ\)
Determine the direction of the horizontal reaction at point 'B'.
**Options:**
- 0°
- 45°
- 90°
- 135°
- 180°
- 225°
- 270°
- 315°
- CCW (Counterclockwise)
- CW (Clockwise)

Transcribed Image Text:### Diagram Description
**Figure P3-18**
This diagram illustrates a static equilibrium problem where a weight of 90 pounds is suspended by a system of cords attached to two points, B and C, on a vertical surface. The configuration consists of the following components:
- **Point A**: The point from which the 90 lb weight is suspended.
- **Weight**: A triangular shape labeled "90 lb" is suspended from point A.
- **Cords**: Two cords extend from point A to points B and C.
#### Angles and Labels
- The angle between the cord and the vertical wall at point B is labeled as \(30^\circ\).
- The angle between the cord and the vertical wall at point C is labeled as \(\theta\).
The diagram involves solving for forces in the cords and the angle \(\theta\) based on the given weight and angle.
