Question: The ring at B is supported in equilibrium by spring A B , a cable running through the frictionless pulley at C , and cable

The ring at B is supported in equilibrium by spring AB, a cable running through the frictionless pulley at C, and cable BD. The pulley radius is 0.0200 m , and the unstretched length of spring AB is 0.28 m . If F1=400N and F2=120N at =36 degrees, determine the spring constant k and the force exerted on the . ring by cable BD expressed in Cartesian components.
Values for dimensions on the figure are given in the following table. Note the figure may not be to scale.
