A suspender on a suspension bridge consist of a cable that passes over the main cable (see figure) and supports the bridge deck, which is Far below. The suspender is held in position by a metal tie that is prevented from sliding downward by clamps around the suspender cable.

Two bars AC and BC of the same material support a vertical load P (see figure). The length L of the horizontal bar is fixed, but the angle fl can be varied by moving support A vertically and changing the length of bar AC to correspond with the new position of support A. The allowable stresses in the bars are the same in tension and compression. When the angle ft is reduced, bar AC becomes shorter, but the cross-sectional areas of both bars increase because the axial forces are larger. The opposite effects occur if the angle 0 is increased. Thus, the weight of the structure (which is proportional to the volume) depends upon the angle ft. Determine the angle ft so that the structure has minimum weight without exceeding the allowable stresses in the bars. Note: The weights of the bars are very small compared to the force P and may be disregarded.
