Question

Write out a hand solution for the following problem. For the figure, the rigid pole AB is attached to two cables: one going down to Cland one going down the D. Point A is a frictionless ball and socket joint (a 3D pinned support, if you will), . Draw an appropriate FBD labeling the internal cable tensions (Ti and T:) as well as the forc e reactions at A (x, y, and force reactions). Show all force vectors, resultants, and reaction forces as appropriate, and label your diagram with either angles, point rdinates, or similar such that the entire 3D geometry is represented Determine the cable tensions at the reactions at A. . Ti T2 w-350N/m 5 m 2 m m -4
