-1 m Cable Hinge A water trough of semi-circular cross section of radius 0.5 m consists of two symmetric parts hinged to each other at the bottom, as shown above. The two parts are held together by a cable and turnbuckle placed every 3 m along the length of the trough. Calculate the tension in each cable when the trough is filled to the rim.
