The pipe is pulled by three cables as shown on the figure below. All three cables are subjected to known forces. Another cable is planned to be added on the system. This additional cable is designed to pull the pipe along the positive y-axis. The proposed cable, Fy is twice as much as the only force which tends to pull the pipe below the x-axis. (Fa= 7.5kN; Fb= 1.25kN; Fc=5kN) Find the summation of forces in x axis and y axis.
