As shown, a mass is being lifted by a strut that is supported by two cables AC and CD. The dimensions given are a = 6.90 ft, b= 4.50 ft, c = 9.50 ft, d = 3.70 ft, and e= 5.10 ft.(Figure 1) Part A Finding the tension in cable AC A weight of 175 lb acts at C on the strut. Find the magnitude of the tension in cable AC. Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.
