A loading car, as given in figure, is at rest on a track forming an angle of 25 with the vertical. The gross weight of the car and its load is 5500 lb. and it is applied at a point 30 in. from the track, halfway between the two axles. The car is held by a cable attached 24 in. from the track. Determine the tension in the cable and the reaction at each pair of wheels.
