Two cantilevered beams AC and DC are connected by a pin joint at C. The cable EC is connected to the cantilevers as shown in the figure. The Young's modulus and the moment inertia of the cantilever beams are E and I, respectively. The Young's modulus of the cable is E and its cross-sectional area is A. The cantilever is loaded by a force P at B as shown in the figure.
a) Calculate the cable force,
b) Determine the maximum shear stress experienced by the cable
