Topic: Equilibrium The skycam at Stanford University Stadium has a mass of 20 Kg and is supported by three cables as shown. Assuming that it is currently in equilibrium, you will need to find the tension in cable C and enter your answer in N units. Hint: this is a 3D equilibrium problem. Cable A lies on the x-y plane, Cable C is on the y-z plane, while cable has components along all three directions. Remember to also show all your work (FBDs, calculation steps, etc on the handworked file) *skycam B 30° C 20° W 35°
