    Cables Tensile
AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around solving a problem involving tensile forces in an air handling unit (AHU) suspended by two cables. The user initially struggles to find relevant examples in their textbook and seeks guidance on how to start the problem. They create a free body diagram (FBD) but are unsure about rearranging the forces. After further research, they discover useful formulas that help them progress in solving the problem. The conversation highlights the importance of utilizing online resources and formulas in tackling complex engineering challenges.

I have uploaded an image.

I just need some one to help me start this problem. I cannot find any similar examples in my book.

I have drawn an FBD. I feel like it has something to do with components but can't figure out where to start. Do I need to rearrange the forces in the FBD or something like that?
