A Cable that has a yield strength of 620 MPa and a safety factor of 3. This cable must be able to support 5 buckets which must be able to carry up 5,429.554 kg each.
Bucket mass is negligible.
Stress = Mass/Area
Area = force/stress
My attempt at a solution:
Total weight 5 buckets must carry = 5,429.554 kg * 5 = 27147.77 kg
Area = 27147.77kg * 9.8ms^2 / 206.667MPa x 10^6
Area = .00128
.00128 = ∏d^2 / 4
.00164 = d^2
.040496m = d
or 40.497mm
I know this is probably all wrong.
