Chapter 7.4, Problem 7.112P
Two cables of the same gauge are attached to a transmission tower at B. Because the tower is slender, the horizontal component of the resultant of the forces exerted by the cables at B is to be zero. Knowing that the mass per unit length of the cables is 0.4 kg/m, determine (a) the required sag h, (b) the maximum tension in each cable.

Knowing that the mass per unit length of the cables is 0.4 kg/m, determine (a) the required sag h, (b) the maximum tension in each cable.
1. Samer (ms = 75 kg) is sitting on the seat of a swing at the playground. The seat is supported by two
cables, one on each side of the seat. (You may assume the seat has negligible mass.)
A. Determine the tension in each cable due to Samer sitting on the swing seat.
B. Given each cable has a diameter of 1 mm and each cable is exactly 5 m long before Samer sits on the
seat, determine the length of each cable when Samer is sitting on the seat. (The cables are made of
Aluminum for which Y = 70 GN/m°.)

numerical answers. Include a diagram wherever possible. On any problem where an FBD is appropriate, it must be
included for maximum credit. All numerical results should be stated to 3.00 or 4.000 significant figures and in mks units
unless otherwise noted.
