Question

Tension in the end part of the cable
connected to the support is 10 KN
at 300 in the fourth quadrant. The
support reaction will be​

Answer 1

The support reaction will be 5 kN

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Tension in the end part of a cable connected to a support is 10 kN at an angle of 300° in fourth quadrant

To find out:

The support reaction

Solution:

As shown in the attached figure, the angle made by the cable from the +x axis is 60°

Resolving the tension force of 10 kN in two components

Horizontal component = 10cos 60° = 10 × (1/2) = 5 kN

Vertical component = 10 sin 60° = 10 × (√3/2) = 5√3 kN

The support reaction R will be equal to the horizontal component of the force

Thus,

Support reaction

R = 5 kN
