Construction Math Application Project Please calculate the f

Construction Math Application Project Please calculate the force on the sling \"c\" depicted in the image to the right. Also use rules of thumb to determine \"c\" when Angle A is 45 degrees and 60 degrees. Why do you think the load decreases as Angle A increases?

Solution

load = 1000

a = 1/2 ( 1000) = 500

sin 40 = a / c

c = a / sin 40

c = 777.86

when angle is 45 degrees

c = 707.106

when angle is 60degrees

c = 577.35

therefore, the load decreases as A increases
