CONCENTRATED LOADS on Cables Example Problem // How to solve for the unknowns on loaded cables

In this video I go over an example problem on how to solve for the maximum mass that can be placed on the cable given that it can only sustain 400 newtons of tension in it. We also find what the sag of the cable is due to this load. We do this by using the Method of Sections and the Method of Joints to analyze the internal forces in the cables and how they relate to the external forces. Using the sum of the forces in the X and Y directions and the sum of the moments we can solve for these unknowns.
