Question

A car weighing 130 kN when fully loaded is pulled slowly up a steep inclined track by a steel cable (see figure). The cable has an effective cross-sectional area of 490 mm2, and the angle of the incline is 30o.

(a) Calculate the tensile stress in the cable.

(b) If the allowable stress in the cable is 150 MPa, what is the maximum acceptable angle of the incline for a fully loaded car?
