Where to Anchor the Cable

ID: 1ldjnqi6ws

Problem: A cable runs from A (0, 0, 4) m to an anchor B (\(b\), 6, 0) m. A horizontal pipe at A lies along the direction \(\mathbf{u} = (\mathbf{i} + \mathbf{j})/\sqrt{2}\). Find the value of \(b\) between 0 and 10 m for which the component of the cable force along the pipe is 80 percent of the cable tension.
