This document provides examples for calculating tensions in cables and reactions in arches. It gives an example problem to determine maximum and minimum tensions in a cable, and another to find the uniform load required to reach the maximum tension before the cable breaks. It also gives an example problem to find the horizontal and vertical components of the reactions at pin-connected points A, B and C of a three-hinged arch.

Determine the tension in each segment of the cable
and the distance yD.
Example 3 Determine the maximum and minimum tension in the cable. Example no. 5 The cable will break when the maximum tension reaches Tmax = 12 kN. Determine the uniform distributed load w required to develop this maximum tension. ARCHES EXAMPLE: Determine the horizontal and vertical components of the reaction at A, B, and C of the three-hinged arch. Assume A, B, and C are pin connected.
