Question: The guy wires A B and A C are attached to the top of the transmission tower. The tension in cable A B is 7

The guy wires AB and AC are attached to the top of the transmission tower. The tension in cable AB is 7.1 kN . Determine the required tension T in cable AC such that the net effect of the two cables is a downward force at point A. Determine the magnitude R of this downward force.
Assume a=39m,b=47m,c=31m, and d=39m.
Answers:
T=
5.43
kN
R=
-10.3
kN
