The member AB shown is supported at B by cable BC and at A by a square rod which fits loosely through the square hole in the collar as shown. It is acted upon by force P = 225N and a 400N force that are parallel to the z- and y- axes, respectively. Neglect the weight of the member and cable. A. What is the unit vector for cable BC? B. Determine the magnitude of tension in Cable BC in order to hold the member in equilibrium. C. Determine the magnitudes of components of the reaction forces and reaction moments at collar A.
