1 m
Cable
Hinge
A water trough of semi-circular cross section of radius 0.5 m consists of two symmetric parts hinged to each other at the bottom, as shown above. The two parts are held together by a
cable and turnbuckle placed every 3 m along the length of the trough.
Calculate the tension in each cable when the trough is filled to the rim.
N
The two sides of a V-shaped water trough are hinged to each other at the bottom where they meet, as shown in Fig. 5, making an angle of 45° with the ground from both sides. Each side is 0.75 m wide, and the two parts are held together by a cable and turnbuckle placed every 6 m along the length of the trough. Calculate the tension in each cable when the trough is filled to the rim
Problem 2: A simple shower for remote locations is designed with a cylindrical tank 500 mm in diameter
and 1.800 m high as shown in the figure below. The water flows through a flapper valve in the bottom
through a 75-mm-diameter opening. The flapper must be pushed upward to open the valve. How much
