Question
**Problem 5.58**

The homogeneous 860-kg bar \( AB \) is supported by a ball-and-socket joint at \( A \) and two cables attached to \( B \). Find the tension in cable \( CB \).

**Diagram Description (Figure P5.58):**

The diagram illustrates a three-dimensional setup where a bar \( AB \) is supported by a joint at point \( A \) and two cables extending from point \( B \).

- The bar \( AB \) is leaning upwards and away from the coordinate plane, attached at the bottom by a ball-and-socket joint located at point \( A \).
- Point \( B \) is situated above and slightly forward of the joint, at a height of 4 meters along the \( z \)-axis.
- The base coordinates measure distances from \( A \) as follows:
  - \( B \) is located 4.5 meters along the \( y \)-axis.
- Two additional points, \( C \) and \( D \), serve as anchoring positions for the cables:
  - Point \( C \) is 3 meters along the \( x \)-axis and 2.6 meters along the \( y \)-axis.
  - Point \( D \) is 3 meters along the \( x \)-axis and 2.2 meters along the \( y \)-axis.
  
This configuration shows the spatial relationship and measurement points necessary to calculate the tension in cable \( CB \).
