    Solving Equilibrium Problem: Find Forces in Ropes and Ball & Socket Joint

    sorry.. I figured out that TAD=TAD[-.6506-.390+.6509] and TAC=TAC[.394-.4728+.788] then i know that i have to find Bx,By and Bz. But I am kind of stuck there 'cause I am not sure how the 180lb and the 400lb influence in the whole problem http://www.mech.utah.edu/~me1300/CP1.pdf

    Solving Equilibrium Problem: Find Forces in Ropes and Ball & Socket Joint

    A rod weighs 180 lb and has a 400 lb load located at point A is suspended in the air by two lines runningfrom point A to points C and D and a ball and socket joint at E. Find the forces for the tension in eachline (rope?, cable?) (A to C and A to D) and the forces at the ball and socket joint...
