on your cable are acting three forces, namely the weight force of the block, and the forces exerted by points A and B: |dw:1444848131909:dw| the equilibrium condition is given by the subsequent vector equation: \[{\mathbf{P + }}{{\mathbf{F}}_{\mathbf{1}}}{\mathbf{ + }}{{\mathbf{F}}_{\mathbf{2}}}{\mathbf{ = 0}}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, understand that.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I also have to find the tension for BD. |dw:1444848387213:dw|

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

by argument of symmetry we can assume the subsequent relationship between F1 and F2: \[\left| {{{\mathbf{F}}_{\mathbf{1}}}} \right| = \left| {{{\mathbf{F}}_{\mathbf{2}}}} \right|\] namely the magnitude of F1 is equal to the magnitude of the vector F2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't think so because the right answer on the book says: \(\sf F_{AB}=29.4 kN,\ F_{BC}=15.2kN,\ F_{BD}=21.5 kN\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't know how they got those values

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so F1 anf F2 are not equal ?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

you are right, I see, your system is not symmetric

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'm not sure how to do it :/

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

ok! so we cancel the relationship \[\left| {{{\mathbf{F}}_{\mathbf{1}}}} \right| = \left| {{{\mathbf{F}}_{\mathbf{2}}}} \right|\]

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

the subsequent formula still holds: \[{\mathbf{P + }}{{\mathbf{F}}_{\mathbf{1}}}{\mathbf{ + }}{{\mathbf{F}}_{\mathbf{2}}}{\mathbf{ = 0}}\]

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

we have to establish a system of coordinate as below: |dw:1444848997148:dw|
