5. Mystery Problem The thin uniform plate with dimensions 26m X 28m as shown weighs 2000N and is supported in a horizontal position by a hinge at A and a cable from B to C. Note that B is located 2m from the edge of the plate both in x and y direction. Determine the magnitude of the tension and then write it in vector format for the cable BC. All the lengths are in meters. Please pay attention to the position of the points.

### 5. Mystery Problem

The thin uniform plate with dimensions 26m X 28m as shown weighs 2000N and is supported in a horizontal position by a hinge at A and a cable from B to C. Note that B is located 2m from the edge of the plate both in x and y direction. Determine the magnitude of the tension and then write it in vector format for the cable BC. All the lengths are in meters. **Please pay attention to the position of the points.**

#### Diagram Explanation:

- The figure is a 3D diagram displaying the setup of the problem.
- The plate lies in the xy-plane and has dimensions 26 meters (along the x-axis) and 28 meters (along the y-axis).
- Hinge point A is situated on the surface of the plate.
- Point B is 2 meters away from the edges of the plate in both the x and y directions.
- A cable extends from point B on the plate to point C.
- Point C is located 12 meters above the base (along the z-axis) and 13 meters out along both the x and y directions, relative to point A.
