The antenna tower shown is attached to the foundation by a ball and socket joint. It is supported in its upright position by four high strength
AC, AD and AE.
Given:
Height of tower, h = 20 m
Diameter of tower, d= 150 mm
Diameter of steel wires = 6.5 mm
Steel modulus of elasticity = 200 GPa
Find the force in wire AD if a pulling force F = 5 kN acts along the x - axis at the tip of the tower.
