QUESTION:
The lift sling is used to hoist a container having a mass of 500 kg. Determine the force in each of the cables AB and AC as a function of \(\theta\). If the maximum tension allowed in each cable is 5 kN, determine the shortest length of cables AB and AC that can be used for the lift. The center of gravity of the container is located at G.
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 3
Here is the diagram of forces of the given illustration. The container (where point G is ) has a mass of 500 kg. The maximum tension allowed for AB and AC is 5 kN. It is required to find the shortest length of AB and AC.
