The cable supports the uniform distributed load of w_o = 600 lb/ft. Determine the tension in the cable at each support A and B.

Solution 1

Given data:

Uniformly distributed load supported by the cables is,

We know that,

From figure we have,

Also, at

From equations (1) and (2) we have,

Therefore we have,

At Position A we have,

Now we know that,

Now the Tension in cable at A is given by,

Therefore the tension in the cable at A is,

At Position B we have,

Now we know that,

The Tension in cable at B is given by,

Therefore the tension in the cable at B is,
