1ST Question: Sherpa swing bridges in the Himalayan region are famous for their lengths and high position. Some examples are shown in figure 1. Figure 1: Himalayan swing bridges The scheme of figure 2 shows you the main angles and main forces acting on the anchorage of one head of one of such bridges. Figure 2: the forces acting in the right head of the bridge. Considering figure 2, and knowing that T=17590N, calculate: 1 - The components x and y of the Tension force on point B (consider that the force of the anchorage is concentrated in this point). 2 - The components x and y of the Resultant force on point A, its magnitude, and its direction in relation to the positive y axis.
