⚡ Mecademy AIENG정역학 · ch3 Problem Statement The horizontal steel shaft has a mass of 480 kg and is suspended by a vertical cable from and by a second cable which lies in a vertical transverse plane and loops underneath the shaft. Calculate the tensions and in the cables. Problem 3/54 (a) Calculation of tension in the vertical cable at 1. Formula: Sum moments about the transverse plane where cable supports the shaft ( from the left end) to isolate . 2. Substitution: Total length of shaft . Center of mass is at . Position of cable is . Position of cable is . Weight . 3. Calculation: 4. Result: ● Final Conclusion: The tension in the vertical cable at is (or ).
