Prior to deployment of its two instrument arms AB, the spacecraft shown in the upper view is spinning at the constant rate of 1 revolution per second. Each instrument arm, shown in the lower view, has a mass of 10 kg with mass center at G. Calculate the tension T in the deployment cable prior to release. Also find the magnitude of the force on the pin at A. Neglect any acceleration of the center O of the spacecraft.
