Equilibrium analysis
We consider point O as the origin of reference system.
1) Calculate the angle of the cable at B:

𝜶 = 𝒂𝒓𝒄𝒕𝒈 (𝟑,𝟕𝟓) = 33,69°

2) Calculate the value of Tension components:

⃗ = 𝑇 ∗ (𝑡𝑔(𝛼); 0; 𝑐𝑜𝑠(𝛼)) = (𝟎, 𝟖𝟐; 𝟎; −𝟏, 𝟎𝟐)
𝑻

3) Calculate force exerted by the wind through the sign:

⃗𝑭 = PWind ∗ S = 0,4 ∗ 1,666 ∗ 1,25 = 0,83 = (0; 0,83; 0)

4) Calculate the sign’s weight:

⃗𝑾
⃗⃗⃗ = 𝜎 ∗ 𝑆 = 9,6 ∗ 1,666 ∗ 1,25 = 19,99 = (0; 0; -19,99)

5) Calculate the missing point’s coordinates:

̅̅̅̅ = 3,75 * Sen(α) = 2,08 → H= [2,08*Cos (33,69°); 0; 2,08*Sen (33,69°)] → H = (1,73; 0; 1,15)
