1) If cable CB is subjected to a tension that is twice that of cable CA,
determine the angle θ for equilibrium of the 10-kg cylinder. Also, what are the tensions in wires CA and CB?
2) Determine the force in each cable needed to support the 500 N
load. 3) Determine the stretch in each of the two springs required to hold the 20-kg crate in the equilibrium position shown. Each spring has unstretched length of 2m and a stiffness of k=300 N/m
