- In a ship-unloading operation, a 3500-lb automobile is supported by a cable. A worker ties a rope to the cable at A and pulls on it in order to center the automobile over its intended position on the dock. At the moment illustrated, the automobile is stationary, the angle between the cable and the vertical is 2°, and the angle between the rope and the horizontal is 30°. What are the tensions in the rope and cable?arrow_forward3. The rectangular block is to be pulled out of the ground using two strings A and B. String A is subjected to a force of 600 lb and is directed 60 degrees with the +x- axis.
