Two high strength flexible steel cables AB and AC are fastened to the ceiling of a building through high carbon steel hooks at point B & C. These cables are knotted together to a 3rd cable at point A which is holding a thick wall water tank weighting P-Kg and is full of Q-m 3 of water volume. What amount of tensions must be there in both the cables to maintain the static equilibrium of the system? (P = ID/2, Q = ID) (Example for ID number 17040, P = 17040/2= 8520- Kg and Q = 17040-m 3 )
