3-D Equilibrium (25 points)
The bracket ABC is supported by two ball-and-socket joints at A and C and a cable that is passed through a loop at B and attached to the wall at E and F .
(a)(5 points) Draw the bracket body diagram.
(b)(5 points) Express the tension force in the BE portion of the cable in vector notation in terms of the tension magnitude T(Hint: vec(T)BE=T(ax(vec(i))+ax(vec(i))+ax(vec(i)))).
(c)(5 points) Express the tension force in the BF portion of the cable in vector notation in terms of the tension magnitude T(Hint: vec(T)BF=T(bx(vec(i))+bz(vec(i))+bz(vec(i)))).
(d)(5 points) Identify and write one equation to find T if P is given.
(e)(5 points) Evaluate (d)P=10N.
