The frame ACD is hinged at A and D and is supported by a cable that passes through a frictionless ring at B and is attached to hooks at G and H. Knowing that the tension in the cable BG (TBG) and BH (TBH) is 450 N,(a) determine the vector moment (N.m) about point A of the force exerted on the frame by portion BG of the cable using matrix determinant method (b) calculate the perpendicular distance (m) from point A to cable BG.
