Question: For Rc / Rd I've tried + / - 5 . 0 5 7 N and 8 . 7 9 9 1 N as answers

For Rc/Rd I've tried +/-5.057N and 8.7991N as answers and both were wrong, Where did I go wrong?
Required information
Channel AB is fixed in space, and its centerline lies in the xy plane. The plane containing edges AC and AD of the channel
is parallel to the xz plane. The surfaces of the channel are frictionless and the sphere E has 2 kg mass.
NOTE: This is a multi-part question. Once an answer is submitted, you will be unable to return to this part.
Determine the force supported by cord EF, and the reactions RC and RD between the sphere and sides C and D, respectively, of the
channel. (Round the final answers to four decimal places.)
The force supported by cord EF is
The reactions RC and RD between the sphere and sides C and D, respectively, of the channel are as follows:
RC=
RD=
