A crane is used to lower weights into the sea (density = 1,025 kg/m3) for an underwater construction project. Determine the tension in the rope of the crane due to a rectangular 0.4m x 0.4m x 3m concrete block (density = 2,300 kg/m3) when it is completely immersed in water.
A flexible cable with supports at the same elevation has a span of 900ft. The cable weighs 0.75 lb / ft and is 1000 ft long. Determine The maximum tension in the cable
1. Samer (ms = 75 kg) is sitting on the seat of a swing at the playground. The seat is supported by two
cables, one on each side of the seat. (You may assume the seat has negligible mass.)
A. Determine the tension in each cable due to Samer sitting on the swing seat.
B. Given each cable has a diameter of 1 mm and each cable is exactly 5 m long before Samer sits on the
seat, determine the length of each cable when Samer is sitting on the seat. (The cables are made of
Aluminum for which Y = 70 GN/m°.)
show all work in logical, detailed form and box in
numerical answers. Include a diagram wherever possible. On any problem where an FBD is appropriate, it must be
included for maximum credit. All numerical results should be stated to 3.00 or 4.000 significant figures and in mks units
unless otherwise noted.
