Expert Solution
Step 1

Given data,

Weight of the slab, W = 1000 lb

Coordinates of A = (0, 5, 0) ft

Coordinates of B = (2, 5, 0) ft

Coordinates of C = (2, 0, 0) ft

Coordinates of D = (2, -3, 4) ft

Coordinates of E = (0, 0, 1) ft

To determine:-

The tension in the cables and reaction forces in the supports
