In this statics problem I am given a triangular distributed load on a cable. Attached is the given info for the problem. I know the basic steps to complete the problem but I am having issues figuring out where the triangular distributed load and 15 degrees given work into the problem. I’ve tried finding the Moment around B with the distributed load and then the two components of Tension at A (using sin(15) and cos(15) respectively but this did not work.
