In order to move a wrecked truck, two cables are attached to the truck at A and pulled by winches B and C as shown. Determine the components and magnitudes of the vectors AB and AC, measuring them from the truck toward each winch, and the resultant of the forces exerted on the truck by the two cables, knowing that the tension is 2000 lb in cable AB and 1500 lb in cable AC.
