A suspension bridge 6 m wide is supported by two cables with 100 m span and 8 m dip and is stiffened by a two hinged girder. The dead load of the girder and deck is 7.5 kN/m² and a 6 m long live load of 15 kN/m² is placed with its head placed at the central hinge. Find the SF and BM in the girder at a section 20 m from the left hand hinge, also find the maximum tension in the cable.
