Please don't provide handwritten solution ..... 

The image illustrates a light right-angle boom system supporting a 560-kg cylinder. The boom is secured using three cables and is connected via a ball-and-socket joint at point O, which is fixed to the vertical x-y surface. The task is to determine the reactions at point O and the tensions in the cables.

### Diagram Explanation:

- **Structure**: The right-angle boom forms a triangular arrangement with support at point O. It connects with points A, B, C, D, and E.
- **Components**:
  - **Cylinder**: Weighs 560 kg and hangs vertically from point A.
  - **Cables**: 
    - Cable from C to A (denoted as \(T_{AC}\)).
    - Cable from B to D (denoted as \(T_{BD}\)).
    - Cable from E to B (denoted as \(T_{BE}\)).
  - **Coordinates**:
    - Points establish dimensions along the x, y, and z axes to define positions and distances.
    - \( O \) is the origin.
    - Dimensions detail: 
      - \(1.40 \, \text{m}\) and \(1.70 \, \text{m}\) define distances between O, C, and E on \(y\).
      - \(1.55 \, \text{m}\) defines height of points D and E on \(y\).
      - \(0.85 \, \text{m}\) separates A from the z-axis plane.
      - \(1.85 \, \text{m}\) horizontal span from O to E on the x-axis.
      - \(0.85 \, \text{m}\) distance from O to B on the z-axis.

### Required Calculations:

- **Reactions at O**: 
  - \(O_x\), \(O_y\), and \(O_z\) are the reactions in the x, y, and z directions, respectively.
- **Cable Tensions**: 
  - \(T_{AC}\), \(T_{BD}\), and \(T_{BE}\) represent the tensions in cables CA, BD, and BE, respectively.

### Answer Fields:
- Spaces provided to input values for the above calculations, measured in Newtons (N).

This exercise is relevant to studies in statics, exploring balance and forces within mechanical systems.
