Ap Wg = 2000 N Wc= 2900 N Support tower -L = 30,5 m- SITUATION 02 Two gondolas on a ski lift are locked in the position shown in Fig. ESS4-TE-002 while repairs are being made elsewhere. The distance between support towers is L = 30.5 m. The lengths of each cable segment AB, BC, and CD under gondolas weighing 2 kN at B and 2.9 kN at C are 4.2 m, 21.2 m, and 5.8 m, respectively. The cable sag at B is A = 1.3 m and that at C is A = 2.4 m. Determine the tension (kN) in the cable BC.
