The bent rod in Fig. a is supported at A by a journal bearing, at D by a ball-and-socket joint, and at B by means of cable BC. Using only one equilibrium equation, obtain a direct solution for the tension in cable BC. The bearing at A is capable of exerting force components only in the z and y directions since it is properly aligned on the shaft. In other words, no couple moments are required at this support. 1 m 0.5 m .Free-Body Diagram. As shown in Fig. b, there are six unknowns 0.5 m Equations of Equilibrium. The cable tension T, may be obtained directly by summing moments about an axis that passes through points D and A. Why? 100 kg
