The two sides of a V-shaped water trough are hinged to each other at the bottom where they meet, as shown in the figure, making an angle of 45 with the ground from both sides. Each side is 0.35 m wide, and the two parts are held together by a cable and turnbuckle placed every 6 m along the length of the trough. Calculate the tension in each cable when the trough is partially filled at a height of 0.29 m directly above the hinge. Cable 0.35 m 45 45 -Hinge The tension in the cable is N.
