Question

A reinforced concrete slab 2.6 m x 2.6 m x 250 mm thick is lifted by four steel cables of equal lengths attached to the corners. The cables are supported by a common hook at a point 1.6 m above the top of the slab. Each cable has an effective cross-sectional area A = 90 mm^2. Determine the tensile stress (in MPa) in each cable due to the weight of the concrete slab. Unit weight of concrete = 24 kN/m3.
