    This document contains instructions for two problems involving analyzing the forces in a suspended cable bridge. The first problem asks to determine: (1) the support reactions at points A and B, (2) the horizontal distance to the lowest point C, and (3) the maximum and minimum tensile forces in the cable. The second problem modifies the setup to have supports A and B at the same level and asks to determine the maximum tensile force. Diagrams of the cable setup are provided in Figures 1a, 1b, and 2 to accompany the problems.

    E PINNED STRUCTURES TUTORIAL 1. Determine the horizontal and vertical reactions of the supports for the three pinned structures shown in Fig. 1a and 1b. For the portal frame shown in Fig. 1b, draw the axial force, shear force and bending moment diagrams for the elements AB, BD and DE. A parabolic suspension cable carries a bridge dec! of 1" !#$m intensit% between two supports A and B, the horizontal distance between them is 1"" m. &f the support B is 1' m above A and the lowest point of the cable ( is ' m below point A as shown in Fig. , determine) i* ii* iii* b. horizontal distance between A and the lowest point ( support reactions at A and B maximum and minimum tensile forces in the cable

    a.

    &f the supports at A and B in +uestion a are on the same level, the horizontal distance between the supports remain at 1"" m and the lowest point of the cable is 1" m below the level of the supports, determine the maximum tensile force in the cable.
