Transcribed Image Text:**Problem Statement:**
The bent rod ACDB is supported by a sleeve at A and a ball-and-socket joint at B. Determine the components of the reactions and the tension in the cable. Neglect the mass of the rod and any moment reactions at A.
**Diagram Explanation:**
- The diagram shows a 3D setup of a bent rod labeled ACDB.
- The rod is supported horizontally from point A on the left to point B on the right.
- A weight of 147 kg hangs vertically from point C.
- A cable is connected from point D of the rod to a wall at point E.
**Dimensions and Points:**
- Distance from A to C along the x-axis is 1.0 m.
- Distance from C to D along the x-axis is 0.5 m.
- Distance from D to B along the y-axis is 0.4 m.
- Vertical distance from point E to the wall in line with the rod is 0.7 m from the xz-plane origin (O).
- The horizontal distance parallel to the z-axis is 0.4 m.
**Supporting Elements:**
- **Sleeve at A:** Provides support but allows the rod to rotate, hence doesn't prevent rotation.
- **Ball-and-Socket Joint at B:** Prevents translation in all directions but allows rotation, providing support and stability.
- **Cable DE:** Keeps the rod in position, countering any rotational moments due to the hanging weight.
The task involves accounting for the reaction forces at supports A and B and calculating the tension in the cable DE to maintain equilibrium under the load.
