Three cables AB, AC, and AD are used to hang a traffic light as shown. All three cables have diameter d = 3 mm and are made out of 2024-T4 aluminum. If the failure criterion of the overall system is a safety factor SF₂ = 8 against yielding, what is the maximum traffic light weight that can be hung? Take 0 = 35°, L = 5, and h = 12.
