Textbook Question
Chapter 3, Problem 1AC
The New Clark Bridge is an elegant cable-stayed Bridge. Its design requires cables to reach from the road deck up to the tower and back down to the road deck on the other side of the tower, as shown in Fig. 3.41. In order to determine the best method for shipping the cables, the shipping company needs to know the lengths of the shortest and longest cables. Given the measurements in the diagram, determine the indicated total lengths BEC and AED, respectively.
Tower's height above the road deck = 176 ft
