the known characteristics of each cable. To find the total tension in a cable, the change of tension must be added algebraically to the tension in the normal condi- tion of the airship. If the motion of the car relatively to the hull is sufficient to cause a cable previously taut to become slack,… … Fio. 3. As a final check upon the accuracy of the work, force and moment diagrams should be constructed using the tensions found in the cables, and if the diagrams close it may be assumed that the work is correct. Example: A side engine car of a rigid airship shown in the accompanying sketch (fig.…
