Guy Wires on a Mast

ID: mv8qu2piag

Problem: Three guy wires pull on the top of a mast. All three run down at \(45^\circ\) below the horizontal (\(\phi = 135^\circ\)), and their horizontal projections point at \(0^\circ\), \(120^\circ\) and \(240^\circ\) from \(+x\). The tensions are 1.5 kN, 1.2 kN and 1.0 kN. Find the resultant force on the mast top and its angle from the downward vertical.
