shown in Fig. b will be used to write the shear and moment equations. The L L

magnitude of the resultant force of the parabolic distributed loading and the 2 2
location of its point of application are given in the inside back cover of the book.

We will assume that cable AB is subjected to the greatest tension, i.e., TAB = 400 N. C
Based on this assumption, MF can be obtained by considering the equilibrium of the

By comparing the above results, we realize that cable AB is indeed subjected to the
