The horizontal steel shaft has a mass of 535 kg and is suspended by a vertical cable from A and by a second cable BC which lies in a vertical transverse plane and loops underneath the shaft. Calculate the tensions T1 and T2 in the cables. 1.0 m. 1.0 m B T2 T2 T1 2.3 2.3 m 3.2 m

Two squirrels are sitting on the rope as shown. The squirrel at A has a weight of 1.3 lb. The squirrel at B found less food this season and has a weight of 0.8 lb. The angles and are equal to 49° and 58.8° respectively. Determine the tension force in each of the rope segments (T₁ in segment AC, T₂ in segment AB, and T3 in segment BD) as well as the angle a in degrees. A Note the figure may not be to scale. T₁ = T₂ = T3 = Ө α = 10 Submit Question lb lb lb degrees a ↑ B D cc 130 BY NC SA 2013 Michael Swanbom
