A steel plate is hoisted by a cable sling that has clevis at each end as shown in the Fig.1.
The total weight of the plate is 100 kN. The pins through the clevises are 20 mm in diameter. The cable has
diameter of 25 mm. Each half of the cable is at an angle of 35° to the vertical. Using factors of safety of 2 for
normal stress and 3 for sheer stress, check if the mechanical system is safe. Ofail.cable = 250 MPa and tfail.pin
100 MPa
