(a) The jib crane is supported by a pin at $\mathrm{C}$ and rod $\mathrm{AB}$ as shown in Figure Q1(a). If the load has a mass of $2\mathrm{Mg}$ with its center of mass located at $\mathrm{G}$, determine the horizontal and vertical components of reaction at the pin $\mathrm{C}$ and the force developed in rod $\mathrm{AB}$ on the crane when $\mathrm{x}=5\mathrm{m}$. Figure Q1(a) (b) The $60?\mathrm{kg}$ pot is supported from $\mathrm{A}$ by the three cables. Determine the force acting in each cable for equilibrium. Take $\mathrm{d}=2.5\mathrm{m}$.
