**Finding Tension in Supporting Cables**

**Problem:**
1. The setup to the right is used to support the 150 lb pipe section. Find the tension in each cable.

**Diagram Description:**
The diagram depicts a mechanical setup involving a series of cables used to support a hanging 150 lb pipe section. Here is a detailed description of the setup:

- **Cables Involved:**
  - C-D cable is inclined and connected to the wall and point D.
  - D-A cable connects the junction at point A, forms an angle with the vertical cable, and is also inclined.
  - The horizontal C-A cable connects the same junction and is horizontal.
  - The vertical A-H cable is connected directly to the pipe section weighing 150 lb.

- **Angles and Ratios:**
  - The angle between cable E-A and horizontal is 60 degrees.
  - The diagram indicates a right triangle for C-D with a rise of 3 units, a run of 4 units, and a hypotenuse of 5 units.

Each cable is part of a mechanical system designed to balance the forces and support the load hanging vertically from point A. The goal is to determine the tension in each cable, ensuring the equilibrium of the entire structure.
