Can you please provide a step-step explanation, I'm a bit confused on determining the reactions. Thank,you!!!

### Problem 5-75 (14th Ed.) **Problem Statement:** Member \(AB\) is supported by a cable \(BC\) and at \(A\) by a square rod which fits loosely through the square hole in the collar fixed to the member as shown. Determine the components of reaction at \(A\) and the tension in the cable needed to hold the rod in equilibrium. **Diagram Description:** The given diagram illustrates the member \(AB\) supported by a cable at point \(C\). The specific details of the setup are as follows: - The member \(AB\) is an angular structure with a kink near point \(A\). - The coordinate axis is labeled as \(x\), \(y\), and \(z\). - Point \(A\) is positioned 3 meters above point \(B\) along the \(z\)-axis. - Point \(C\) is 1.5 meters along the \(y\)-axis from point \(A\). Note that point \(C\) is the location of the cable end. - The horizontal distance of point \(B\) from point \(A\) is 1 meter along the \(x\)-axis. - There is a downward force of 400 N applied at point \(B\) in the \(z\)-direction. - There is an external force of 200 N applied horizontally towards point \(A\) in the \(x\)-direction. **Objective:** To solve for: 1. The reaction components at point \(A\). 2. The tension in the cable \(BC\) necessary to maintain equilibrium. This problem requires a thorough understanding of static equilibrium principles, vector analysis, and mechanical system support reactions to deduce the system's integrity in equilibrium conditions.
