Expert Solution
Step 1

Given data,

Weight of the bucket, W = 375 N

Since, CAD is a single string. So, tension in CA and AD string will be same.

Coordinates of A = (0, 0, -1.6)

Coordinates of B = (0, 0.86, 0)

Coordinates of C = (-0.78, 0, 0)

Coordinates of D = (1.2, 0.4, 0)

Coordinates of E = (-0.4, -0.86, 0)

To determine, the tension in the CAD string.
