Two slings of equal length are slung from a horizontal beam and connected to a common shackle at their lower ends, the slings and beam form an equilateral triangle. Find the force in each sling when a load of 103kN hangs from the common shackle.
The answer I came up with was 59.468kN in both sling A and B.
Can anyone confirm if this is correct or not?
Thanks.
