Due to a poorly designed foundation, the statue at point A slowly slides down a grass-covered slope. To prevent further slip, a cable is attached from the statue to point B, and another cable is attached from the statue to point C. The statue weighs 1000 lb, and assume the surface on which the statue rests to be frictionless. Given that BC= 24 ft. NOTE: This is a multi-part question.
