Question
**Problem Statement: Tension in Cables** Determine the tension in each cable (AB, AC, and AD) if the crate weighs 1000 lbf. **Diagram Explanation:** The diagram shows a three-dimensional setup with a crate suspended by three cables, labeled AB, AC, and AD. The cables connect to points B, C, and D, forming a triangular configuration above the crate at point A. Each point is located in space using the Cartesian coordinate system, with the following dimensions: 1. **AB:** - 36 inches in the y-direction. 2. **AC:** - 32 inches in the z-direction. 3. **AD:** - 40 inches in the x-direction. - 27 inches in the x-direction. 4. **Vertical Height from A to O:** - 60 inches in the vertical z-direction to point A. The system requires analyzing the equilibrium conditions to calculate the tension in each cable.
