Question

The boom OA carries a load P and is supported by two cables as shown. Knowing that the tension in cable AB is 274 lb and that the resultant of the load P and of the forces exerted at A by the two cables must be directed along OA, determine the tension in cable AC. (Round the final answer to the nearest whole number.) 36 in. 25 in. 24 in. 29 in. 48 in. The tension in the cable AC is lb.

Step 1

The resultant of these forces must be directed along OA, which means the sum of the forces in the x and y directions must be zero. The tension in cable AB can be resolved into two components: one in the x direction (T_ABx = T_AB * cos(θ)) and one in the y Show more…
