A block of mass m hangs from the end of bar AB that is 8 meters long and connected to the wall in the xz plane. The bar is supported at A by a ball joint such that it carries only a compressive force along its axis. The bar is supported at end B by cables BD and BC that connect to the xz plane at points C and D respectively with coordinates given in the figure. Cable BD is elastic and can be modeled as a linear spring with a spring constant k = 500 N/m and unstretched length of 6.81 meters. Determine the mass m, the compressive force in beam AB and the tension force in cable BC.
