Question: The weight ' W ' is supported by the two cables A B and A C . The working stresses are 1 0 0 MPa

The weight 'W' is supported by the two cables AB and AC. The working stresses are 100MPa for AB and 150MPa for AC. The cross-sectional areas of AB and AC are 400mm2 and 300mm2, respectively.
a) Determine the largest safe weight 'W' that can be supported by the two wires. (in kN)2
b) Find the force acting on the cable AB due to the largest safe weight? (in kN)
c) What will be the force at cable AC considering the largest safe weight? (in kN)
The weight ' W ' is supported by the two cables A
