Statically Determinate Structures – Cables

Problem 1. Determine the forces P1 and P2 needed to hold the cable in position shown to keep
segment CD align with the horizontal. Also, find the maximum loading in the cable. (values of P are
tabulated after the last problem)

Problem 2. Determine the value of XB. (values of P are tabulated after the last problem)
Problem 3. The cable AB is subjected to a uniform loading of 200 N/m. If the weight of the cable is
neglected, and the slope angles at points A and B are 30° and 60°, respectively, determine the
curve that defines the cable shape and the maximum tension developed in the cable. (values of L
are tabulated after the last problem)

Problem 4. The cable is subjected to a uniform loading of w. Determine the maximum and minimum
tension in the cable. (values of w are tabulated after the last problem)
Problem 5. Draw the shear and moment diagrams for beams AB and BC. The cable has a
parabolic shape. (values of P1 and P2 are tabulated below)
