Transcribed Image Text:**Problem 5-71**
Determine the components of reaction at the ball-and-socket joint \(A\) and the tension in each cable necessary for equilibrium of the rod.
**Diagram Explanation:**
The diagram represents a three-dimensional setup involving:
- A rod with endpoints \(B\) and \(A\).
- A ball-and-socket joint located at point \(A\), which allows rotation in all directions but restricts translational movement.
- Three cables attached at points \(C\), \(D\), and \(E\) which help maintain equilibrium.
**Coordinates and Distances:**
- \(C\) is positioned at \( (0, 2, 2) \) meters.
- \(D\) is at a \(z\)-coordinate of 2 meters, located horizontally 3 meters from \(A\).
- \(B\) extends horizontally from \(A\) in the negative \(x\)-direction, creating a distance of 3 meters along the \(x\)-axis.
- A vertical load of 600 N is applied downwards at a point 3 meters from \(A\) along the negative \(y\)-axis.
The objective is to calculate the reaction forces at \(A\) and the tensions in the cables to maintain equilibrium under the given load and configuration.
