Description: A uniform beam has a weight of 5000 lb. Determine the average tension in each of the two cables $AB$ and $AC$ if the beam is given an upward speed of 8 ft/s in 1.5 s starting from rest. Neglect the mass of the cables. Hook point $A$ is 4 ft above the beam ends $B$ and $C$, and $B$ and $C$ are each 3 ft horizontally from the center of the beam.
