2. The force P = 2 kips is applied to point A, and is supported by cable AB, cable AC, and bar OA. The force P and both cables pull on point A, and bar OA pushes on point A. Determine the forces in cables AB and AC, and in bar OA. You can use Excel to solve the equations, but you don't have to for this one. (Point A lies in the zy plane, and points B and C lie in the xz plane.) 6 ft 4 ft B 4 ft 12 ft с D 5 ft A 12 ft
