Solidworks Simulations I Sky Lift Simulation with Solidworks
Two gondolas on a ski lift are locked in the position
shown in the figure while repairs are being made elsewhere.
The distance between support towers is L 100 ft. The
length of each cable segment under gondola weights WB
450 lb and WC 650 lb are DAB 12 ft, DBC 70 ft, and
DCD 20 ft. The cable sag at B is
B 3.9 ft and that at C) is 7.1 ft. The effective cross-sectional area of the
cable is Ae 0.12 in2
.
(a) Find the tension force in each cable segment; neglect
the mass of the cable.
