*5–64. The pole for a power line is subjected to the two cable forces of 60 lb, each force
lying in a plane parallel to the plane. If the tension in the guy wire AB is 80 lb,
determine the x, y, z components of reaction at the fixed base of the pole, O.

*5–76. The member is supported by a pin at A and a cable BC. If the load at D is 300 lb,
determine the x, y, z components of reaction at the support A (fixed, but it allows rotation around
x) and the tension in cable B C.
