What if? Can the sign be in static equilibrium if cable BD is removed? 4-108
The sign cannot be in static equilibrium because T EC causes a moment about the y- axis (due to the existence of T EC,Z ) which must be countered by an equal and opposite moment. This can only be provided by a cable tension that has a z-component in the negative-z direction, such as what T BD has. 4-109
