Continuing Problem $5$ from HW$6.$ What is the required area AND diameter of the cable needed to safely support the horizontal beam? Remember to factor up the demand and factor down the capacity!

Important parameters to know$/$remember:

Yield Capacity of Steel Cable $=36$ KSI

Axial Reduction Factor, $=0\mathrm{.}9$

Area of Cable $=?$

Tension Force in Cable $($from HW$6$ P$5)=q,$

Solve below:

Now draw the required dimensions of the cable in the figure below by filling in the box
