- The horizontal boom carries the weight W=108lb at A. The boom is supported by the cables AB and AC. The tensions in the cables are TAB=120lb and TAC=160lb. Determine the single force R that is equivalent to three forces acting on the boom at A.arrow_forwardThe pulley-cable system supports the 150-lb weight. The weights of the pulleys and the horizontal bar ABC are negligible. Determine the cable tensions at A and C and the distance x.arrow_forwardCable ABC of length 5 m supports the force W at B. Determine (a) the angles 1 and 2; and (b) the force in each cable segment in terms of W.arrow_forward
- The cable is loaded by an 80-lb vertical force at C and a horizonal force P at B. Determine P.arrow_forwardThe cable supports three 400-lb loads as shown. If the maximum allowable tension in the cable is 900 lb, find the smallest possible sag hC at C.arrow_forwardThe cable AOB weighs 24 N/m. Determine the sag H and the maximum tension in the cable.arrow_forward
- Assuming that P=48000lb and that it may be applied at any joint on the line FJ, determine the location of P that would cause (a) maximum tension in member HI; (b) maximum compression in member CI; and (c) maximum tension in member CI. Also determine the magnitude of the indicated force in each case.arrow_forwardThe tensions in the cable at points O and B are TO=1200N and TB=1800N. Determine the weight W of the cable.arrow_forwardThe cable AOB weighs 5.2 N/m. When the horizontal 30-N force is applied to the roller support at B, the sag in the cable is 5 m. Find the span L of the cable.arrow_forward
