Question: Problem 3 : The plate is supported by hinges at A and B and the cable C E . Both hinges allow for free rotation

Problem 3:
The plate is supported by hinges at A and B and the cable CE. Both hinges allow for free rotation about their hinge axis, and the hinge at A does not exert a thrust force (i.e., a force in the direction of the hinge axis). A force vec(P)=-Pvec(J) is applied to the plate at D. Determine the tension in the cable.
