URGENT!!!
For the cable supported bor shown, with W=4 kips, determine the tension in cable BD and reaction forces ot points C and D following the methods indicated.
a) Using the Free Body Dlogrom
The component of point B in the y direction by similar triongles, By= in.
The length of coble BD,LBD= in.
The unit vector from B to D is BD=1+
The moment about point C of the weight force W using components is
MCA=rCA cross 1+1)J= kip in.
The moment of the cable tension applied ot point D
MCD=rCD cross TBD=(0.0i+(32in)j)(BD)TBD
=-(32in)(,)T-BD
Sum of Moments obout point C=0=MCA**MCD
Gives TBD= kips
Then the reaction at point D is ]1-
Sum of forces in x and y directions then gives the reaction forces at C= kips)1+)1
b) An alternatlve approach using the free body dlagram
URGENT!!! For the cable supported bor shown, with
