    Forces in slings
    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.

    I also calculate 59.467 (roundoff difference) N in each sling.
