Step: 2

From the Lami’s theorem, write the equilibrium equation of forces as follows:
 …… (1)
Here,  is the tension in the cable BC and  is the force in the member AC.

Step: 3

(a)
Calculate the force in the member AC as follows:
From equation (1),

Here, the negative sign indicates that the original direction is opposite to that of assumed direction.
Therefore, the force in the member AC is 

Step: 4

(b)
Calculate the tension in the cable BC as follows:
From equation (1),

Therefore, the tension in the cable BC is .
