![The image presents a problem involving a beam with various loads applied to it. The diagram shows a horizontal beam supported at point A and connected by a cable to point B. The beam experiences five downward forces: \( F_1 = 15 \, \text{lb} \), \( F_2 = 12 \, \text{lb} \), \( F_3 = 13 \, \text{lb} \), \( F_4 = 16 \, \text{lb} \), and \( F_5 = 12 \, \text{lb} \).
These forces are evenly distributed, with distances between them as follows:
- \( F_1 \) is located 6 inches from the left end of the beam.
- \( F_2 \) is 8 inches to the right of \( F_1 \).
- \( F_3 \) is 8 inches to the right of \( F_2 \).
- \( F_4 \) is 6 inches to the right of \( F_3 \).
- \( F_5 \) is 8 inches to the right of \( F_4 \).
Point \( B \) is connected vertically by cable \( BC \), which passes over a pulley to point \( C \).
Beneath the diagram, there are three fill-in-the-blank fields with dropdown menus to determine:
1. The force in cable \( BC \) in pounds.
2. The vertical reaction force at \( A \), with options to indicate direction (up, down, or N/A).
3. The horizontal reaction force at \( A \), with similar direction options.
This exercise is intended to teach how to calculate reaction forces and tension in static equilibrium scenarios involving distributed forces on beams.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F51e7283f-1187-4641-a7dd-756ddc41b628%2Fbabbf2b6-a2e4-4166-9878-cf98f640ae80%2Fjf8eda_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)

Determine the reaction forces at \( A \) and the tension in cable \( BC \).
- **Diagram Explanation:**
- The beam is horizontal, with forces \( F_1 \) through \( F_5 \) acting vertically downward.
- The distances between the forces are: 6 in. between \( F_1 \) and \( F_2 \), 8 in. between \( F_2 \) and \( F_3 \), 6 in. between \( F_3 \) and \( F_4 \), and 8 in. between \( F_4 \) and \( F_5 \).
- Point \( A \) is a support, and Point \( B \) is connected to cable \( BC \), which runs to support \( C \).

- The force in cable \( BC \) is \(\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\) lbs tension.
