The collar at B can freely move along the length of rod AC. Cable BD holds the collar in place while a load of P = 960 lbf is applied to the collar. Given that the angles of a and are 16° and 36", respectively, determine the tension in the cable and the reaction force applied to the collar by rod AC. (Hint: Though the collar can freely move along the length of the rod, the rod still applies a force normal to the rod.)
