A two-tier system to repair bridges is supported by two steel cables for each platform. Lengths of the cables are lA = 50 in. and lp = 190 in. Assume that two 190 lb workers are going to be standing on the system to repair a bridge, one on each platform. The following design requirement must be met: the stretch of each cable must be less than 0.02 in. at the worst-case loading condition for each cable. 250 lb 190 io 400 lb
