Bead B has negligible weight and slides without friction on rigid fixed 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 and is positioned halfway between points A and C. 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?
