What are the tensions in each of the 4 cables supporting the lamp, if the lamp weighs 40 Ibs and the
coordinate direction angles for Cable B are a = 95°, ß = 140° and y = 50.44°?
Cable B
Cable A
30°
50
Cable C
1 ft
3 ft
Cable D
4
Using the figure from Question 3, determine the maximum weight of the lamp if no cable can support
more than 75 Ibs of tension? You can reuse the Cartesian force vector expressions for TA, TB and Tc from
Question 3 i.e. you do not need to derive them again for this question.
