Question

Transcribed Image Text:Problem 6
Two cables of the same gauge are attached to a transmission tower at B.
Because the tower is slender, the horizontal component of the resultant of the
forces exerted by the cables at B is to be zero. Knowing that the mass per unit
length of the cables is 0.4 kg/m, determine (a) the required sag h, (b) the
maximum tension in each cable.
