SITUATION: The rigid bar BCD of negligible weight is attached to three steel cables of identical cross section. Given that W = 12 kips and all cables have the same diameter. 1. Calculate the tension (kips) in cable AC. A. 10.41 C. 11.25 B. 10.85 D. 11.98 2. If diameter of the cables is 6 in, calculate the vertical displacement (in) of D. A. 0.65 C. 0.74 B. 0.58 D. 0.44 3. If the allowable stress in the cables is 10 ksi, calculate the minimum required diameter (in). A. 1.24 C. 1.65 B. 1.18 D. 1.16 Thanks for watching!
