Chapter 6, Problem 6.79P
The 110-lb traffic light is suspended from two identical cables AB and BC, each weighing 0.80 lb/ft. If the maximum allowable horizontal force exerted by a cable on a vertical post is 170 lb, determine the shortest possible length of each cable and the corresponding vertical distance h.

of 0.8 kN, determine the largest vertical
force F that can be applied to the link at A.
