Transcribed Image Text:### Required Information
**NOTE:** This is a multi-part question. Once an answer is submitted, you will be unable to return to this part.
The 6-m long pole \( ABC \) is acted upon by a 545-N force as shown in the figure. The pole is held by a ball-and-socket joint at \( A \) and by two cables \( BD \) and \( BE \).
#### Diagram Explanation
The image shows a three-dimensional setup:
- Pole \( ABC \) is vertical with \( AB = 3 \) m and \( BC = 3 \) m, totaling 6 m in length.
- Point \( A \) is on the ground at one end of the pole, where it is connected by a ball-and-socket joint.
- Cables \( BD \) and \( BE \) are anchored at points \( D \) and \( E \) respectively, both on the ground.
- Point \( D \): 1.5 m from \( A \) along the x-axis.
- Point \( E \): 3 m along the x-axis and 1.5 m along the z-axis from \( A \).
#### Task
For \( a = 1.5 \) m, determine the tension in each cable and the reaction at \( A \).
- **The tension in cable \( BD \) is:** ____ N.
- **The tension in cable \( BE \) is:** ____ N.
- **The reaction at \( A \) is:** \( (\, \underline{\phantom{000}} \, \text{N} \, ) \mathbf{i} + (\, \underline{\phantom{000}} \, \text{N} \, ) \mathbf{j} + (\, \underline{\phantom{000}} \, \text{N} \, ) \mathbf{k} \).
