Full disclosure: this is a homework problem. However, I find myself stuck in the middle. The problem is below

As shown, a system of cables suspends a crate weighing W = 350 . (Part C 1 figure) The dimensions in the figure are as follows: h= 22.2 , l = 4.20 , x = 9.50 , theta = 40.0, and phi = 16.0. Determine TA, TD, and TE, the tensions in cable segments CA, CD, and CE, respectively.

I already found that TA = 406, i still need to find TD and TE. I know that CE = CF and that I need to find TD and TE through the Z forces and that the Y forces in these two should equate but I'm not sure about that either.

A push in the right direction would be a huge help.

    Also, I wasn't aware of the Physics.StackE$x$change site. Can someone with rights move my question over, or should I crosspost?2012-02-05
