Question: Problem # 3 : Rope DEC is connected to the rectangular lid ABCD at D and C and passes over a smooth hook at E

Problem # 3: Rope DEC is connected to the rectangular lid ABCD at D and C and passes over a smooth hook at E.(50
points)
vec(r)EC=(40-10)hat()+(5-20)hat()+(15-0)hat(k)
=30hat()-15hat()+15hat(k)
vec(r)DE=(10-0)hat()+(20-5)hat()+(0-15)hat(k)
=10hat()+15hat()-15hat(k)
0,0 in
hat()DE=1018.0277hat()+151810277hat()-1518,0277hat(k)
=
hat()DE=
a. On the figure, denote the coordinates of A,C,D and E, and draw rDE and rEC(10 points)
b. Use the space to the right of the figure to calculate the angle between ED and EC, and the unit hat()DE
(20 points)
