Answer this question, please.
The vertical post is secured by three cables. The cables are pretensioned so that the resultant of the cable forces F, Q, and P is directed along the z-axis. If F = 120 1b, find P and Q.
The turnbuckle is tightened until the tension in the cable AB equals 2.7 kN. Determine the vector expression for the tension T as a
force acting on member AD. Also find the magnitude of the projection of T along the line AC.
