Bead B has negligible weight and slides without friction on rigid fi ed bar AC. An elastic cord BD, which supports a 60 N tensile force, is attached to the bead. At the instant shown, the bead has zero velocity. For the position of the bead given below, determine the components of the cord tension that act parallel and perpendicular to direction AC of the bar. Due to the cord tension, will the bead slide toward point A or C?

Bead B is positioned halfway between points A and C.
