5) The weight is supported by boom AO and cables AB, AC, and AD, which are parallel to the x, y, and z axes, respectively. Find: A) If cables AB

and AC can support maximum forces of 5000-lb ach and boom AO can support a maximum compressive force of 8000-lb before buckling, determine the largest weight W that can be supported. Assume cable AD is sufficiently strong to support W. B) If the supports at points B and Care relocated to points B' and C', respectively, and W=1000-lb, determine the forces supported by boom AO and the cables AC, and AD.
