This problem is similar (though not identical) to your HOLD 2 station 2 activity. In this problem you need to balance a pole on a platform at point D using the tension of three cables (OA, OB, and OC) using the setup shown below (look at both the top view and side view). Determine LAD and Fos (weight hanging over pulley B) required to hold the pole in a vertical position.
