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 \( c=820\mathrm{~mm}\) and that the moment about \( B \) of the force exerted by the cord is 810\(\mathrm{N}-\mathrm{m}\), determine the tension in the cord by the three methods indicated.
a) by applying the cable tension component at \( A \) perpendleular to rod \( A B \)
Angle between horizontal and rod \( A B \)
Angle between horizontal and cable \( A C \)
Angle BAC
Length of \(\operatorname{rod} A B=\) m
Tac \(=\) Tension In Cable AC.
Component of Tac perpendicular to rod AB = Tac*(
Moment of Cable tenslon about pin \(\mathrm{B}=\) Tac*
N m clockwise
Tension in cable AC = N
b) by applying the cable tension at C
Angle between horizontal and cable \( A C \) as above.
Moment of Cable tension about pin \(\mathrm{B}=\) Tac*
|N m clockwise
The tension in the cord is
N .
c) using horizontal(\( x \)) and vertical(\( y \)) components
Use negative numbers for left or down components.
Rod \ ( A B \ ) is held in place by the cord \ (
