Question: Given: The shaft ( A B ) shown below is supported by a ball and socket joint at ( A )

Given: The shaft \( A B \) shown below is supported by a ball and socket joint at \( A \) and a frictionless radial bearing at \( C \). Two disks \( E \) and \( F \) lie in planes perpendicular to the axis of the shaft and are attached rigidly to the shaft. The forces acting on \(\operatorname{disk} F \) and the cable attached to disk \( E \) are in the planes of the disks. The weight of the structure and the moment reactions at \( C \) may be neglected.
Required: The tension in the cable and the reactions at the supports at \( A \) and \( C \).
Given: The shaft \ ( A B \ ) shown below is
