Statics | "A container of weight W is supported from ring A. Cable BAC passes through the ring..."

In this video, I go over the concept of particle equilibrium in 3D which is a common problem in engineering statics! Hopefully these examples will help help you on your statics homework as well as exams!

Question
A container of weight W is supported from ring A. Cable BAC passes through the ring and is attached to fixed supports at B and C. Two forces P = Pi and Q = Qk are applied to the ring to maintain the container in the position shown. Knowing that W = 376 N, determine P and Q. (Hint: The tension is the same in both portions of cable BAC.)
