Should any similar problem ask for maximum safe value for LOAD, then you must choose the
least numerical value.
W = 61.7 kN
Example 1a-5. Six steel cables support a circular molding of diameter 2 m. The cables are
placed equally along the perimeter of the moulding. The moulding weighs 2.50 kN/m.
Solution:
For a:
Since you really cannot visualize the forces on the system, you must draw the free body
diagram.
From the free body diagram,
