A loading car 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 Ib, and it acts at a point 30 in. from the track, halfway between the two axles, The car is held by a cable 24 in. from the track. Determine the tension in the cable and the reaction at each pair of wheels.
