Consider the frame shown below with two cables attached to it at points A and C. Note the orientation of the coordinate system. The tension in cable AB is 1,750 lb.  Write the tension force in cable AB as a Cartesian vector (i.e. TAB = ?).Write the position vector in Cartesian form that runs from C to D (i.e. rCD = ?)Calculate the projection (component) of TAB that lies in the direction of rCD.
