The vertical mast supports the 5.3-kN force F and is constrained by the two fixed cables \( B C \) and \( B D \) and by a ball-and-socket connection at \( A \). Calculate the tension \( T_{1} \) in BD. Can this be accomplished by using only one equation of equilibrium? Assume \( a=5.4 \mathrm{~m}, b=3.5 \mathrm{~m}, c=2.0 \mathrm{~m}, h=4.6 \mathrm{~m} \).
