The pipe ABCDE is supported by ball-and-socket joints at A and D and by cable ECF that passes through a ring C with negligible friction and is attached to hooks at E and F. Knowing that the frame supports a uniformly distributed load of 1500 N/m along segment AB, do the following. 1) Shows the correct vector representation of the resultant of the two tension forces acting at ring C. Note that T_CF = T_CE = T 2) Explain along which line/axis you can sum moments to generate an equilibrium equation with only the magnitude of the tension force as the unknown. Explain your choice. 3) Find the magnitude of the tension force.

The pipe ABCDE is supported by ball-and-socket joints at A and D and by cable ECF that passes through a ring C with negligible friction and is attached to hooks at E and F. Knowing that the frame supports a uniformly distributed load of 1500 N/m along segment AB, do the following.

1) Shows the correct vector representation of the resultant of the two tension forces acting at ring C. Note that T_CF = T_CE = T

2) Explain along which line/axis you can sum moments to generate an equilibrium equation with only the magnitude of the tension force as the unknown. Explain your choice.

3) Find the magnitude of the tension force.
