Eight steel cables (with equal distance to each other) are supporting a circular heavy moulding of diameter 3m from an overhead point. If the moulding weighs 5 kN/m and the attachment point is 4m above it, determine the following: a. Calculate the tension of the cable. b. Determine the diameter of the wire if the allowable stress is 125 MPa. c. If the diameter of the cable is 10 mm, find the deflection of the steel cable.
