-In the structural system shown, a simply supported beam is to be lifted at midspan by a pretensioned cable such that its midspan deformation is equal to zero. Use the force method of analysis to determine the tension force that requires to be provided to the cable to achieve such conditions. Neglect the axial compression and shear in the beam. Assume \( E \) and \( I= \) constant.
