(not a physics person so hope my description is clear enough)
bridge mass = 3150 Newtons (center of mass is in center)
length = 5 meters
cable is attached to wall 3 meters straight up from bridge hinge
cable is attached to bridge 3.5 meters from hinge
situation: bridge is suspended 14 degrees below horizontal
Question: what is the calculation I use to determine the tension on the cable?
(I'm physically going to build this and the numbers may change)
Thanks.
