Check out our Review Center: https://www.facebook.com/share/1AC24W... SITUATION 1: Refer to the assembly shown, where cables AB and AC supports the suspended weight, W. Working stresses for AB and AC are 100 MPa and 150 MPa, respectively. The cross-sectional areas of AB and AC are 400 mm2 and 200 mm2, respectively. Given: θ = 30⁰ and β = 45⁰. 1. If W = 20 kN, determine the stress in AB, in MPa. A. 40 C. 14.64 B. 30 D. 17.93 2. If W = 20 kN, determine the stress in AC, in MPa. A. 40 C. 14.64 B. 30 D. 17.93 3. Determine the maximum W (kN) that can be supported. A. 70 C. 33.5 B. 54.6 D. 41.2 Thanks for watching! Comment for questions and suggestions for future lecture in this series.
