definition for cd is cd[input_,rcCD_,cx_,cy_] := rcCD*input + cy - rcCD*cx; 
(which just defines a line of the form y=ax+b)

Using NSolve instead of Solve still takes way too long (quit it after 15 
minutes, do not know if it even will solve it). I have about a 100 cones for 
each part I need to test and the way it is now takes too long.

In my usage all values except beta and v are Reals. Beta is usually the 
range [0, Pi/2] and v is also a Real.

For a solvable solution try:

{ax,ay}= {7,4} and {cx,cy}= {21,11} and
{centerOfMassx,centerOfMassy}={13,7} and rcAB=3 and
rcCD=7/4

That should give a solution, and quite fast at that.
