The boom YZ is a 100 mm hollow square steel tube and is 10 mm thick. The boom is supported by the 16 mm. diameter pin at A, and the 12 mm-diameter cable XY. The working stresses are 180 MPa for the cable, 120 MPa for the boom, and 100 MPa for shear in the pin. Find the largest value of P that the system can carry. (Neglect the weight of the boom)
