Question: Rod ( A B ) is held in place by the cord ( A C ) . Knowing that (

Rod \( A B \) is held in place by the cord \( A C \). Knowing that \( c=930\mathrm{~mm}\) and that the moment about \( B \) of the force exerted by the cord is 840 N -m, determine the tension in the cord by the three methods Indicated. Enter Intermediate step answers. Draw a separate Free Body Dlagram for each method.
a) by applying the cable tension at \(\mathbf{A}\) perpendleular to \(\operatorname{rod}\mathbf{A B}\)
Angle between horizontal and rod AB
Angle between horizontal and cable AC
Angle BAC
Length of \(\operatorname{rod} A B=\)
Tac \(=\) Tension in Cable AC.
Component of Tac perpendicular to \(\operatorname{rod} A B=\)
N
Moment of Cable tension about pin B =
Nm clockwise
b) by applying the cable tension at C
Angle between horizontal and cable \( A C \)
horizontal component of Tac = N
Moment of Cable tension about pin B =
N m clockwise
c) using horlzontal(\( x \)) and vertical(\( y \)) components
Use negative numbers for left or down components.
Position \( B \) to \( A=\quad \mathrm{ml}-\quad \mathrm{mJ}\)
Tac components \(=\)
\(1+\quad J \)
Moment of Cable tension about pin \(\mathrm{B}=\)
|N m clockwise
Rod \ ( A B \ ) is held in place by the cord \ (
