A weight W is hung from ring A, and cable BAC runs through the ring, connecting to fixed supports at B and C(Note: The magnitude of tension is the same in both segments of cable BAC). To maintain static equilibrium, forces P acting along the x-axis and Q acting along the z-axis are applied to the ring. Given W=1200N, find the magnitudes of P and Q. Please draw a clear free body diagram illustrating all forces and their respective directions.
