SUMMARY

The discussion revolves around solving a problem involving tensile forces in an Air Handling Unit (AHU) suspended by two cables. The user initially struggled to find relevant examples in their textbook but successfully utilized formulas discovered through online research to address the issue. The focus is on understanding the Free Body Diagram (FBD) and the rearrangement of forces to solve for the tensile forces effectively.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Free Body Diagrams (FBD)
  • Knowledge of tensile forces and their calculations

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?
