To explain: the force exerted by cables in example 4.
Answer to Problem 2CFU
Tension increases
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
On increasing the angle between the cables, the force exerted by the cable is affected
The diagram representing the tip-to-tail
Calculation:
The angle
Now divide the isosceles triangle into two right triangles such that they both have a common base
The relation between angle and the tension can be derived as follows:
Thus the tension increase as the angle between the cables is decreased.
