Question: Continuous cable ADB runs over a small frictionless pulley at D to support beam OABC that is part of an entrance canopy for a building

Continuous cable ADB runs over a small frictionless pulley at D to support beam OABC that is part of an entrance canopy for a building (see figure). Assume that the canopy segment has a weight W=1,800 Ib.
(a) Find the required cross-sectional area of cable ADB (in square inches) if the allowable stress is 22ksi.
