Due to a poorly designed foundation, the statue at point A siowly
slides down a grass-covered slope. To prevent further slip, a cable is
attached from the statue to point B, and another cable is attached
from the statue to point C. The statue weighs 980 lb , and assume the
surface on which the statue rests to be frictionless. Given that BC=24
ft.
NOTE: This is a multi-part question. Once an answer is submitted, you
will be unable to return to this part.
Determine the minimum tensile strength each cable must have, and the magnitude of
the reaction between the statue and the slope.
The minimum tensile strength of cables AB and AC and the magnitude of the reaction
between the statue and the slope are as follows:
FAB=
Ib (Round the final answer to one decimal place.)
FAC=
Ib (Round the final answer to one decimal place.)
R=
Ib (Round the final answer to the nearest whole number.)
Due to a poorly designed foundation, the statue
