The cable and spring system attached at the ring at A, is kept in equilibrium by the force F = 760N. The angle between the horisontal line and the spring AB is 0 = 30°. The angle between the vertical line and the cable AC is a = 5°. The direction of the force F is described by the ratio triangle with a = 2, b = 4.472 and c = 4. The spring constant for spring AB is k = 450N/m. Calculate the forces in the cable and the spring and complete parts (a) and (b) below.
