Tension on cable CD when moment on A is Zero.

In summary, tension on a cable refers to the force applied to keep it taut. It can be calculated using the equation T = F/A. A moment of zero means there is no rotation or turning force, and this can affect the stability of the system. The tension on cable CD is important in understanding the balance and stability of the system. If it is too high or too low, it can cause the system to become unstable or collapse.

Homework Statement


Looking for the tension in cable Tcd when the moment on A is equal to 0.
P1 = 73N.

I’ve had several attempts but I can’t seem to obtain the answer, which is 110,8 N.
Can anyone help me with this question?

FAQ: Tension on cable CD when moment on A is Zero.

What is tension on a cable?

Tension on a cable is the amount of force applied to the cable in order to keep it taut or stretched.

How is tension on a cable calculated?

Tension on a cable can be calculated using the equation T = F/A, where T is the tension in Newtons, F is the force applied to the cable, and A is the cross-sectional area of the cable.

What is the significance of a moment being zero?

A moment of zero means that there is no rotation or turning force being applied to a point or object. This can occur when the forces acting on the point or object are balanced.

Why is the tension on cable CD important when the moment on A is zero?

When the moment on A is zero, it means that there is no rotational force being applied to point A. This can cause the cable to experience a change in tension, and understanding the tension on cable CD can help in determining the stability and balance of the system.

How does tension on cable CD affect the overall system?

The tension on cable CD is an important factor in determining the stability and balance of the system. If the tension is too high, it can cause the cable to snap or the system to become unstable. If the tension is too low, it can cause the system to collapse or become unbalanced.
