An engineer is designing a cable system to support a 250 lb traffic camera and light over the right lanes of a divided highway. She wants to ensure public safety is maintained and needs to find the baseline loads in the two cables (before wind or ice loads are added). Points A and C are at the same elevation. Draw a clear and complete FBD and then find the tensions in the two cables. Make sure you use appropriate notation and units. Show formulas before solving. -80 ft 20 f 10t 30

It is obtained by fixing 4 wooden planks to each other with nails.given as a cross section. 2 verticals forming the sectionplank 20 mm X 80 mm, the other two planks 20 mm X 120 mmin size. between the nails fastening the planksthe distance is s = 50 mm. allowed on each nailThe safe cutting force is 300 N. a) What is the highest vertical shear force that the beam can safely carry? b) What is the highest shear stress occurring in the section corresponding to this shear force?
Derive the given equation of cables under distributed loads.
PLEASE ANSWER IT AS FAST AS YOU CAN A beam is made of four pieces of wood in the shape shown. The pieces are attached to each other using nails. The spacing between the nails on the top board (s') and the side board (s) are unknown. If it is known that the beam is under a vertical shear of 600 N and the nails have a maximum load of 100 N, determine the required nail spacing. Take the distance (a) as 1 cm, (b) as 2 cm and (c) as 1.5 cm. If glue was used instead of nails, would the shear flow change? Use number to justify your response. Please make sure the answer is correct 100% and be accurate in your answer
