Question:
For the system in Problem P5.15, assume that two 180-lb workers are going to be standing on the system to repair a bridge, one on each platform. The following design requirement must be met: The stretch of each cable must be less than 0.01 in. at the worst-case loading condition for each cable. Determine the minimum diameter required for each cable.
Problem P5.15
A two-tier system to repair bridge infrastructures is supported by two steel cables for each platform (Figure P5.15). All the support cables have a diameter of 0.50 in. Assume the applied loads are at the midpoint of each platform. Determine how much each cable stretches at points A–D.
