As shown, a 3.1-lb ball is suspended at point D inside a box with dimensions w=9.50 ft, d=6.70 ft,  and h=4.10 ft. The ball is held in place by three cables anchored at points A, B, and C on the surface of the box. If point D is the origin of the Cartesian coordinate system, point A is located at (−4.60,−3.50,2.50) ft, point B is located at (2.10,−3.50,1.90) ft, and point C is located at (2.10,6.00,−1.60) ft.
