Transcribed Image Text:### Problem Statement
**Objective:** If \( F = 600 \, \text{N} \), determine the tension developed in cables \( AB \), \( AC \), and \( AD \).
### Diagram Description
- The diagram illustrates a three-dimensional coordinate system with a point \( A \).
- Cables \( AB \), \( AC \), and \( AD \) are connected to point \( A \).
- The coordinates and arrangement are as follows:
- Cable \( AB \) forms a 30° angle with the negative x-axis in the xy-plane.
- Cable \( AD \) is positioned 2 meters above \( A \) along the z-axis.
- Cable \( AC \) aligns directly along the y-axis from \( A \).
- Dimensions:
- Distance along the x-axis from \( A \) to line \( AB \) is 2 meters.
- Distance along the y-axis from \( A \) to \( C \) is 2 meters.
- Height above \( A \) to \( D \) is 2 meters.
### Interactive Exercise
**Part A:** Determine the tension developed in cable \( AB \).
- **Input Field:**
- Enter your answer in the form \( F_{AB} = \) with three significant figures and appropriate units.
**Part B:** Determine the tension developed in cable \( AC \).
- **Input Field:**
- Enter your answer in the form \( F_{AC} = \) with three significant figures and appropriate units.
For both parts, after entering your answer, click "Submit" to verify.
**Tools Available:**
- Significant figures and unit formatting.
- Requesting hints if needed.
Explore the effects of force distribution and calculate the correct tension in the cables.
