Figure Q2 shows a transmission tower of height 70 m, which are supported by three cables AB, AC and AD respectively. a. If each cable exerts a force of 2000 N determine the resultant force exerted at A due to the three cables. b. Assume that the cable AB exerts a force of 2000 N. Determine the magnitude of force exerted by the cables AC and AD if the components along the x and z axis vector sum forces are zero.
