Concept explainers
The crate has a weight of 550 lb. Determine the force in each supporting cable.
The force in each supporting cable.
Answer to Problem 1FP
The force in cable AB
The force in cable AC
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The weight of a crate is (W) is 550 lb.
Show the free body diagram of the cable as in Figure 1.
Determine the force of the members AB and AC by applying the Equation of equilibrium.
Along horizontal direction:
Here, the angle of force AC is
Along the vertical direction:
Conclusion:
Substitute
Substitute
Thus, the force in cable AB
Substitute 478 lb for
Thus, the force in cable AC
