The two sides of a V-shaped water trough are hinged to each other at the bottom where they meet, as shown in Figure 3 below, making an angle of 45° with the ground from both sides. Each side is 0.75 m wide, and the two parts are held together by a cable and turnbuckle placed every 6 m along the length of the trough. Calculate the tension in each cable when the trough is filled to the rim. Cable 075 m 45 45° Hinge Figure 3

It is required to determine the maximum force FT required to hold the inflatable flood control barrier in place assuming it has been filled with air to a gauge pressure of P = 12.0 kPa. The barrier has an average diameter of d = 950 mm and its maximum individual length is L = 12.0 m. Since this force is the one acting on the part of the non-inflatable membrane that receives the flood water (seen on the left side of Figure 1), use the value of FT that you obtained to calculate the mean stress srip [MPa ] that is acting on that membrane assuming it has an effective thickness of t = 2.5 mm.
