A utility pole is used to support at C the end of an electric wire. The tension in the wire is 500 N, and the wire forms an angle of 20° with the horizontal at C. Determine the largest and smallest allowable tensions in the guy cable BD if the magnitude of the couple at A may not exceed 600 N·m. (Hint: the largest tension in BD cable is trying to pull the pole to the left, and the smallest tension in BD cable is leaving the pole to the right side).
