FORCE ANALYSIS
FORCE ANALYSIS
T1 = 742202.8 N (As Anchorage Point)
N1 = 9849 N
Vertical Reaction Force
N2 = N1*sin(44)
= 9849*0.6947
= 6842.1 N
Horizontal Reaction Force
N3 = N2*cos(5)
= 6842.1003*0.9962
= 6816.1 N
Anchorage Point Shall be Greater than Horizontal Reaction Force
T1 > N3
0 < T1‐N3
0 < 742202.8‐6816.10031886
0 < 735386.7 N , OK!!

STRESS ON SHELL ANALYSIS
DESIGN DATA
N1 = 9849 N
T2 = Tension on rope
T2 = mG‐ma
as we know that the Gondola is standing still then we can tell its acceleration is zero
a = 0
T2 = N1
T2 = 9849 N
Area of Gondola Shell Touching
Ag = 65600 mm2
Horizontal Reaction Force
Ns = N1*cos(90)+T2*cos(44)
= 9849*0+9849*0.7193
= 7084.386 N
Pressure on Shell
Ss = Ns/Ag
= 7084.3857/65600
= 0.107994 N/mm2

STRESS ON SHELL ANALYSIS
Material Shell Plate = A 283 C
Yield Strength (Sa) = 205 MPa
Allowable Stress on Shell, 2/3*Yield Strength
Sa = 136.6667 MPa
Allowable Stress on Shell Shall be Greater than Pressure on Shell
Sa > Ss
0 < Sa‐Ss
0 < 136.666666666667‐0.10799368445122
0 < 136.5587 , OK!!

BRACKET STRUCTURE
DESIGN DATA
Ns = 7084.386 N
Velocity of Wind (v) = 33.3 m/s
Effective Area (Af) = 103760 mm2
FORCE ANALYSIS
NQ1 = Ns ‐ Ns*cos(45)
