Transcribed Image Text:**Problem Statement:**
2. The force **F** = 1600i + 400j (lbs) acts at point A. What are the tensions in the three cables?
**Diagram Explanation:**
The diagram shows a 3D coordinate system with points A, B, C, and D. Three cables are connected at point A and extend to points B, C, and D. The coordinates for each point are given as follows:
- A (12, 4, 2) ft
- B (6, 0, 0) ft
- C (0, 0, 6) ft
- D (0, 4, 6) ft
The system represents cables connected at point A, with a force **F** acting at this point. The task is to determine the tension in each cable labeled as AB, AC, and AD.
The outline below the problem statement provides spaces for the answers:
- \( T_{AB} = \) __________
- \( T_{AC} = \) __________
- \( T_{AD} = \) __________
These tensions represent the forces in each of the respective cables.
