The roof over a concourse at an airport is supported by the use of pretensioned cables. At a typical joint in the roof structure, a strut AB is compressed by the action of tensile forces Fin a cable that makes an angle = 75° with the strut (see figure and photo). The strut is a circular tube of steel (E = 30,000 ksi) with outer diameter d2= 2.5 in. and inner diameter d1= 2.0 in. The strut is 5.75 ft long and is assumed to be pin-connected at both ends.

A vertical pole of aluminum is fixed at the base and pulled at the top by a cable having a tensile force T(see figure).
