The shaded shape is supported by Cable $1$ and Cable $2$ in the position shown. $($Drawing is NOT to scale$).$ The shape has a uniform weight per unit area of $14k\frac{N}{m^2}.$

Step $1$: If $B=1\mathrm{.}2m,C=1m,x=1m,y=1\mathrm{.}5m,z=2\mathrm{.}5m,=41,$ and $=60,$ find the value of A needed to keep the shape in static equilibrium. Then solve for the tension in Cable $1($T$1)$ an the tension in Cable $2($T$2).$

Once you have evaluated your values for A$,$ T$1$ and T$2$ it is recommended that you redraw your free body diagram with the correct dimensions, weights, and forces $T{1}_x,T{1}_Y,T{2}_x,T{2}_Y$ and confirm that you do have your problem correctly in horizontal, vertical, and moment equilibrium.
