Question:

A force P of magnitude 90 lb is applied to member ACDE, which is supported by a frictionless pin at D and by the cable ABE. Since the cable passes over a small pulley at B, the tension may be assumed to be the same in portions AB and BE of the cable. For the case when a = 3 in., determine

(a) The tension in the cable,

(b) The reaction at D.
