    Problem 1: A suspension cable is shown in the figure.

    Determine the
    following:

    a. Tension in segment BC in kN
    b. Value of angle θ
    c. Total length of cable

    20 kN
    ↻+ ∑MA = 0 Based from the figure:
    16 6 + 20 17 = Dy 24 + Dx (6)
    𝟑𝐃𝐱 + 𝟏𝟐𝐃𝐲 = 𝟐𝟏𝟖 (𝐄𝐪. 𝟏. 𝟏) o

    Dx 𝐓𝐂𝐃 = 𝟏. 𝟐𝟐𝟎𝟖𝐃𝐱 (𝐄𝐪. 𝟏. 𝟑)
    Equate Eq. 1.1 and (Eq. 1.2)

    3Dx + 12(0.7002Dx ) = 218


    𝐃𝐱 = 𝟏𝟗. 𝟏𝟐 𝐤𝐍

    From (Eq. 1.2)

    Dy = 0.7002 19.12
    𝐃𝐲 = 𝟏𝟑. 𝟑𝟗 𝐤𝐍

    From (Eq. 1.3)

    TCD = 1.2208 19.12


    𝐓𝐂𝐃 = 𝟐𝟑. 𝟑𝟒 𝐤𝐍
    Based from the figure:

    TBC 2 = 202 + 23.34 2


    − 2 20 23.34 cos 55o
    𝐓𝐁𝐂 = 𝟐𝟎. 𝟐𝟑 𝐤𝐍
