sily by constructing the force tri-angle PQRF for the load W and the two tensions. PQ = W according tosome convenient scale; PR and QR (parallel to ^C and BC respectively)represent the tensions in ^C and BC. Or, if one wishes to avoid graphicalmethods the two tensions {Ti and T2) may be computed by… … Fig. 210 Fig. 211 When several bodies are suspended from given points on the cable, thecable takes up a definite position, but it is not easy to determine the slopes ofthe segments of the cable and the tensions. The difficulty lies in the alge-braic computation. For example, consider the case…
