I have to create a formula where one would just need to input y to get the tension from CD.
1. Homework Statement
A worker plans to lift a 60-lb 5 gallon bucket of paint by tying a rope to the scaffold a A and then passing the rope through the bail of the bucket at B and finally over the pulley at C. Please analyze the system assuming that the bucket is held in static equilibrium as it is raised slowly from a height y for 2 ft< y <18 ft.

I know on the second picture I'm supposed to put y in the equation but I was just getting an idea how to set up.
