The image shows a part of the structure that is held on one end by tension in four cables to a pin support. The structure is designed in such a way that it exerts a total force of 12,500 lb magnitude on the support. We have to fabricate the four cables (Cable 1, Cable 2, Cable 3 and Cable 4 from bottom to the top) so that the magnitude of tension in all of them is the same. Cable 1 is oriented at 9º, Cable 2 is oriented at 29⁰, Cable 3 is oriented at 40⁰, and Cable 4 is oriented at 51⁰ from the bottom. What is the magnitude of tension in each Cable and what is the orientation of the total force 12,500 lb magnitude on the support.

Transcribed Image Text:The image shows a part of the structure
that is held on one end by tension in
four cables to a pin support.
The structure is designed in such a way
that it exerts a total force of 12,500 lb
magnitude on the support.
We have to fabricate the four cables
(Cable 1, Cable 2, Cable 3 and Cable 4
from bottom to the top) so that the
magnitude of tension in all of them is
the same.
Cable 1 is oriented at 9º, Cable 2 is oriented at 29⁰, Cable 3 is oriented at 40⁰, and Cable
4 is oriented at 51⁰ from the bottom.
What is the magnitude of tension in each Cable and what is the orientation of the total
force 12,500 lb magnitude on the support.
