- CORRECT AND DETAILED SOLUTION WITH FBD ONLY. I WILL UPVOTE 4 : A cable and pulley system at D is used to bring a 230-kg pole (ACB) to a vertical position as shown. The cable has tensile force T and is attached at C. The length of the pole is 6.0 m, the outer diameter is d = 140 mm, and the wall thickness t = 12 mm. The pole pivots about a pin at A. The allowable shear stress in the pin is 60 MPa and the allowable bearing stress is 90 MPa.
