The ring at B is supported in equilibrium by spring AB, a cable running through the frictionless pulley at C, and cable BD. The pulley radius is 0.0150 m, and the unstretched length of spring AB is 0.21 m. If F = 390 N and F¹ = 170 N at 0=38 degrees, determine the spring constant & and the force exerted on the ring by cable BD expressed in Cartesian components.
