Question

Problem 5.67 Mastering Engineering MasteringCo... The uniform concrete slab has a mass of 2200 kg The slab is held in the horizontal plane by three parallel supporting cables as shown. Suppose that F 13 kN x 0.5m 2m 2 m 1 m Q Tap image to zoom Part A Determine the tension in the cable connected to A. Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units. TA- Value Units Submit Give Up Part B Determine the tension in the cable connected to B. Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units. Tu- Value Units Submit Give Up Part C Determine the tension in the cable connected to C. Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Explanation / Answer

sum M_x =0

T_C ( 2.5) -(2200) ( 9.81)(1.25) -13000(0.5) = 0

T_C = 13391 N=13.39 kN

sum M_y = 0

T_B ( 2) + 13391(4) - 2200 ( 9.81) (2) - 13000(3)

T_B = 14.3 kN

sum F_z= 0

T_A + 14300+ 13391 N-2200(9.8) -13000= 0

T_A = 6.86 kN
