Question

As shown, a mass is being lifted by a strut that is supported by two cables and . The dimensions given are: a=1.8ft b=1.5ft c=6 ft d=0.8 ft and e=2ft part A) Tension in Cable AC A weight of acts at on the strut. Find the magnitude of the tension in cable. part B) Finding the Unknown Weight What is the weight of an unknown hanging mass when the compressive force in strut is ? By convention compressive forces are expressed as negative values and tensile forces are expressed as positive values. Part C)Maximum Weight Find the maximum weight that the cable and strut system can support if the magnitude of the compressive force in the strut cannot exceed and the magnitude of tension in the cables cannot exceed .
