The guy wires AB and AC are attached to the top of the transmission tower. The tension in cable AB is 9.3 kN. Determine the required tension Tin cable AC such that the net effect of the two cables is a downward force at point A. Determine the magnitude R of this downward force. Assume a = 31 m, b = 37 m, c = 25 m, and d = 31 m.
