Question: A radio tower is constrained by two cables A C and B C that connect its top to the ground and lie in a common

A radio tower is constrained by two cables AC and BC that connect its top to the ground and lie in a common vertical plane (see the figure below). The tensions in the cables are TA=10kips and TB=15kips. Determine the magnitude and the direction of the resultant force R that the cables exert on the tower by the law of cosines and trigonometry.
