Question: Two cables, AB , and CD support a bent rod. The magnitude of the tension along the cableCD is known to be 5 kN .

Two cables, AB, and CD support a bent rod. The magnitude of the tension along the cableCD is known to be 5 kN.
A=(0,0,4)B=(4,0,0)C=(-3,4,6)D=(0,5,0)O=(0,0,0)
A) Write the following position vectors. Express all vectors in Cartesian vector form:* From O to A * From O to B * From O to C * From O to D* From A to B * From C to D
B) Write the tension in the cable CD as a Cartesian force vector,
C) Compute the components of the tension in cable CD parallel and perpendicular to the line AB as a Cartesian force vector.
