A tubular post of outer diameter d2is guyed by two cables fitted with turnbuckles (see figure). The cables are lightened by rotating the turnbuckles, producing tension in the cables and compression in the post. Both cables are lightened to a tensile force of 110 kN. The angle between the cables and the ground is 60° and the allowable compressive stress in the post is ?? c= 35 MPa. If the wall thickness of the post is 15 mm, what is the minimum permissible value of the outer diameter d2?
