Question

The rigid post in Figure 1 has a cable connected to the floor at point D, which generates a tension of 1.2 kN on it. Compute the expression for the moment in vector form and determine its magnitude about (a) point O, and (b) the z-axis. Note that the vertical force exerted by the three cables on point O is 3 kN, and that the pole has no reaction in the x direction due to the action of the cables.
