A 150-lb cylinder is supported by two cables AC and BC that are attached to the top of vertical posts. A horizontal force P, which is perpendicular to the plane containing the posts, holds the cylinder in the position shown. Draw the free-body diagram needed to determine the magnitude of P and the force in each cable.
