Begin by drawing a free body diagram of particle A, then apply the equations of equilibrium.

Solve (1) and (2) simultaneously for $T_B$ and $T_C$.

\n

With $T_C$ known, use a similar approach on particle $C$ to find $T_D$ and $T_E$.  

\n

Since cable CD is horizontal $T_D$ has no y-component, so the $\\Sigma F_y = 0$ equation only has one unknown and simultaneous equations are unnecessary in this case.
