Question: The traffic light shown in ( Figure 1 ) has a mass of 1 9 kg . Take h = 3 . 5 m .

The traffic light shown in (Figure 1) has a mass of19 kg
. Take h
=3.5 m
.
Figure1 of 1
Traffic light A supported by cables AB, AC, and AD is shown in the xyz space with the z-axis directed upward. Ends B, C, and D of the cables are attached to top ends of three vertical poles. The traffic light is located on the positive z-axis at distance h from the xy plane. End B of cable AB is located in the +x+y+z octant, 4 meters above the xy plane, 3 meters from the yz plane, and 4 meters from the xz plane. End C of cable AC is located in the -x-y+z octant, 6 meters above the xy plane, 6 meters from the yz plane, and 3 meters from the xz plane. End D of cable AD is located in the +x-y+z octant 4 meters above the xy plane, 4 meters from yz plane, and 3 meters from the xz plane.
Part A
Determine the tension developed in the cable AB
required to support the traffic light
