Question

Please provide explanations and show work.

**Problem:**

In a repair shop, a truck engine (with a mass of 501 kg) is held in place by 4 light cables. Cable A is horizontal, cables B and D are vertical, and cable C makes an angle of 37.1° with a vertical wall. If the tension in cable A is 798 N, what are the tensions in cables B, C, and D?

**Diagram Explanation:**

The diagram illustrates the positioning of a truck engine suspended by four cables. 

- **Cable A** is shown horizontally.
- **Cables B and D** are depicted as vertical lines directly supporting the weight of the engine.
- **Cable C** is depicted at an angle of 37.1° from the vertical, suggesting that it provides a component of force in both vertical and horizontal directions.

The engine is visually placed at the center of these intersecting cables, with the angle for cable C noted clearly in the diagram.
