Apply Lami's theorem,
W/Sinθ=BC/(Sin270θ)
W/Sinθ=BC/(-Cosθ)
So, BC=-WCotθ.
W/Sinθ=BC/(Sin270θ)
W/Sinθ=BC/(-Cosθ)
So, BC=-WCotθ.

For Equilibrium Condition Sum of horizontal forces = 0 and sum of vertical force = 0,
F @ac sin(θ) = W
F @ ac = W/ sin(θ)
And
F @ bc = F@ac cos(θ) =w cos(θ)/sin(θ)
= Wcot(θ).
F @ac sin(θ) = W
F @ ac = W/ sin(θ)
And
F @ bc = F@ac cos(θ) =w cos(θ)/sin(θ)
= Wcot(θ).

Note: In triangle, sum of all angles is 180.
Let angle at A is a and force on CB is A. So angle A = (180 - 90 - theta) = (90 - theta).
W/sin (theta) = A/sin (90 - theta).
A = W (cos (theta)/sin (theta)) = W cot (theta).

In AB is equal to Wcosec@.

w/sin@ = BC/Sin(270-@).
BC = W*(-Cos@)/Sin@.
BC = -W*Cot@.
BC = W*(-Cos@)/Sin@.
BC = -W*Cot@.
