This document provides a force analysis of a gondola platform. It calculates:
1) The vertical and horizontal reaction forces on the platform from the gravity and loads.
2) The tensile strength of the welds and sling ropes is sufficient to withstand the horizontal forces.
3) The stress on the shell is below the allowable stress level.
4) The bracket structure is stable against wind forces and critical buckling loads.
