5. Mystery Problem The thin uniform plate with dimensions 26m X 28m as shown weighs 2000N and is supported in a horizontal position by a hinge at A and a cable from B to C. Note that B is located 2m from the edge of the plate both in x and y direction. Determine the magnitude of the tension and then write it in vector format for the cable BC. All the lengths are in meters. Please pay attention to the position of the points.
