P5.15 A two-tier system to repair bridges is supported by two steel cables for each platform (Figure P5.15). All the support cables have a diameter of 12.5 mm. Assume the applied loads are at the midpoint of each platform. Determine how much each cable stretches at points A-D. 3.5 2.25 m 1 kN 4.5 m 4.8 h 1.75 kN
