Hi.
I was trying to calculate a situation where you have a piece of cable that is attached to a horizontal bar and then the two ends of the cables goes up vertically and is attached. Now I pull in the part of the cable hanging down under the horizontal bar - but I don't pull in the center line, I pull off center. What will be the loads in the cables to the left and right of the pull and what will be the vertical loads in the cables where they are attached.
I don't think my calculation is correct - and this is 2nd try. It is ideal if T6 = T7 = ½T1 as my calculation shows, but I have a feeling that it is not correct. But I have run out of good ideas on how to make the correct calculation. I guess the main problem is that I divide T1 by ½ in the beginning. But I can't figure out how T1 is split in the 2 forces.
