The aerial tower shown is designed to elevate a workman in a vertical direction. An internal mechanism at B maintains the angle between AB and BC at twice the angle θ between BC and the ground. If the combined mass of the man and the cab is 200 kg and if all other masses are neglected, determine the torque M applied to BC at C and the torque MB in the joint at B required to give the cab an initial vertical acceleration of 1.2 m/s² when it is started from rest in the position θ = 30°.
