As shown, two cables connect three points. C' is
below A by a distance Cn=2.50ft and
connected to A by a cable 7.64 ft long. Cable AC
forms an angle =35.0 with the positive y axis. B
is 8.70 ft above C and the distances Bz and B3
are 7.70 ft and 3.50 ft , respectively. (Eigure 1)

Part E = Tension in the cable
A cable is attached between B and C. The cable is attached in such a way that it has a tension of T TBe along its length. The tensle force will attempt to pull B toward C. The force exerted on B
has a z component with a magrithde of 10 lb . What is the magritude of the tension in the cable. Tmce??

FigureLearning Goal:
To determine Cartesian force components from magnitude and
determine position and resultant vectors by summing Cartesian
components.
As shown, a 2.9-lb ball is suspended at point D inside a box with
dimensions w=9.30ft,d=6.60ft, and h=4.50ft. The ball is
held in place by three cables anchored at points A,B, and C on the
surface of the box.
If point D is the origin of the Cartesian coordinate system, point A is
located at (-4.60,-3.50,2.90)ft, point B is located at
(2.00,-3.50,1.90)ft, and point C is located at
(2.00,5.80,-1.60)ft.
