A 175-kg utility pole is used to support at C the end of an electric wire. The tension in the wire is 600 N, and the wire forms an angle of 15° with the horizontal at C. Determine the largest and smallest allowable tensions in the guy cable BD if the magnitude of the couple at A may not exceed 500 N · m.
