No Sideways Pull

ID: 4uckfwezy9

Problem: Three guy wires run from the top of a mast, A (0, 0, 12) m, to anchors B (5, 0, 0), C (\(-4\), 3, 0) and D (\(-4\), \(-3\), 0) m. Wire AB carries 2.6 kN. Find the tensions in AC and AD for which the wires exert no horizontal resultant on the mast, and the vertical resultant.
