Compute the horizontal and vertical components of force at pin B. The belt is subjected to a tension of T=100 N and passes over each of the three pulleys.

Bx = 0 N, By = 141.4 N
Bx = -15.89 N, By = 120.7 N
Bx = 20.7 N, By = 157.3 N
Bx = 0, By = 100.0 N

Consider equilibrium of pulley B(joint B), the tension of 100N is acting on both sides at an angle 45 deg and 30 deg,apply laws of statics as follows.

-T.sin45 - T.sin30 + By = 0.

&

T.cos30 - Tcos45 + Bx = 0.

Where T = 100N.
