A container of weight W = 320 lb is supported by a continuous cable BAC and a small pulley at A, as shown in the figure below. The cable is attached between two walls that are Lw = 40 ft apart, and the right support at C is h = 8 ft below the left support at B. Cable BAC has a total length LBAC = 45 ft and sags prior to adding the pulley and container. From equilibrium considerations, we can prove that cable segments BA and AC are inclined at the same angle from the horizontal. Neglect the size and weight of the pulley for this analysis. Determine the following quantities: B
