Ifthe mass of the girders 3 Mgand its center of mass is located at point G, determine the tension developed in cables AB, BC, and BD for equilibrium. Equations of Equilibriom: The girder is suspended from cable AB. In oder to meet the conditions of equilibrium the tensile force developed in cable AB must be equal to the weight of the girder, Thus, Fag = 30001981) = 29430 N = 29.43KN =29.4N ‘Ans, ‘Applying the equations of equilibrium along thex and yaxes tothe free -body diagram in Fig. (a), Bare 0 Fay sin30" Fge sind ® ATER = 0 — 2943~ Fpp co30"~ Fa sts” =0 a ‘Solving Eqs.
