Three cables are attached to the top of the tower at A. Determine the angle formed by cables AD and AB. Knowing that the tension in cable AC is 280 lb, determine (a) the angle between cable AC and the boom AB, (b) the projection on AB of the force exerted by cable AC at point A. Knowing that the tension in cable AD is 180 lb, determine (a) the angle between cable AD and the boom AB, (b) the projection on AB of the force exerted by cable AD at point A.
