Determine stresses in the cables and deflections of points


The steel beam ABCD shown in simply supported at A and supported at B and D by steel cables each having a diameter of 12mm. A force of 20 kN is applied at point C. For steel, let E = 209 GPa. Determine the stresses in the cables and the deflections of points B, C, and D if (a) beam ABCD is considered to be rigid, and (b) beam ABCD has a second-area moment of I = 8x105 mm4.
