An L-shaped bracket is supported by a frictionless pin at A and a cable between points B and D. If pin A is the origin, point C is at (-7, 0); and pin B is at (-7, -10). The cable is attached between point B and an anchor at point D, at (-2, -14). Units are in feet. Force F acts at point C at an angle of 60o from the positive x-axis. Determine the magnitude of the moment that the force F produces about point A. Determine the tension required to hold the bracket in position.
