Question
Problem 5.4 Part A1400 kg steel beam is supported by the two ropes shown in(Figure 1). Calculate the tension in the rope. Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units. Part B The rope can support a maximum tension of 7900 N. Is this rope strong enough to do the job? Yes. The tension in the rope does not exceed the maximum value. No. The tension in the rope exceeds the maximum value. No. The tension in the rope does not exceed the maximum value. Yes. The tension in the rope exceeds the maximum value.Explanation / Answer
vertical equilibria,
2Tcos30 = Mg
2Tcos30 = 1400*9.8
T = 7921.24 N
part b
No, tension exceeds max value
