Answer to Problem 8.130RP
The tension force
The tension force
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The specific weight of plate is
The weight of plate is defined as:
Steps to follow in the equilibrium analysis of a body are:
1. Draw the free body diagram.
2. Write the equilibrium equations.
3. Solve the equations for the unknowns.
Calculation:
Assume
The weight
The point of action
The weight
The point of action
The weight
The sum of
FBD of plate
Assume
For the equilibrium of plate, the moment about x axis is equal to zero.
Substitute and solve
The plate is symmetrical.
Therefore
Write equilibrium equation in z direction.
Substitute and solve
Conclusion:
The tension force
The tension force
