The lift sling shown in (Figure 1) is used to hoist a container having a mass of \( 500 \mathrm{~kg} \). The center of gravity of the container is located at \( G \). Determine the force in each of the cables \( A B \) and \( A C \) as a function of \( \theta \). Express your answer in kilonewtons in terms of \( \theta \) using three significant figures. Figure Part B If the maximum tension allowed in each cable is \( 3.7 \mathrm{kN} \), determine the shortest lengths of cables \( A B \) and \( A C \) that can be used for the lift. Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.
