Question: Collar A is connected as shown to load W . It can slide on a frictionless horizontal rod. Assume weight of collar A is zero.

Collar A is connected as shown to load W. It can slide on a frictionless horizontal rod. Assume weight of collar A is zero. Determine the magnitude of the external force P required to maintain the equilibrium of the collar for a given load W. The tension in the cable between points A and B is denoted as TBA.
W=350 pounds
x=13 inches
Calculate the the absolute value of the tension TBA in the cable in pounds. (Type in an integer.)
Calculate the absolute value of the force P.(Type in an integer.)
Calculate the absolute value of the vertical force at point A.(Type in an integer.)
TBA equals q, pounds.
Pequals q, pounds.
The vertical force at point A equals pounds.
Collar A is connected as shown to load W . It can
