Question: The horizontal rectangular plate with shown dimensions weighs 0 . 7 k N and it is supported by a cable system as indicated. Assume that

The horizontal rectangular plate with shown dimensions weighs 0.7kN and it is supported by a cable system as indicated. Assume that the weight of the plate acts in the center of the plate. Determine the tensions TO in cable OA,TB in cable AB and TC in cable AC. Point A lies 1.2m above the horizontal xy-plane. Complete the cartesion vector form for the forces ?bar(T)O,bar(T)B and ?bar(T)C that the respective cables AO,
AB and AC exert on particle A.
?bar(T)O=TO{,bar(i)+,bar(j)+,bar(k)}?b
ar(T)B=TB{,bar(i)+,bar(j)+,bar(k)}?b
ar(T)C=TC{,bar(i)+,bar(j)+,bar(k)}
Solve the system of equilibrium equations and give the final answers for the tensions in the cables.
Tension in cable AO has magnitude
kN.
Tension in cable AB has magnitude
kN.
Tension in cable AC has magnitude
kN.
