Question: Solve the preceding problem if the mass of the tail gate is MT = 27 kg and that of the crate is MC = 68

Solve the preceding problem if the mass of the tail gate is MT = 27 kg and that of the crate is MC = 68 kg. Use dimensions H = 305 mm, L = 406 mm, dC = 460 mm, and dT = 350 mm. The cable cross-sectional area is Ae = 11.0 mm2.
(a) Find the tensile force T and normal stress σ in each cable.
(b) If each cable elongates δ = 0.25 mm due to the weight of both the crate and the tailgate, what is the average strain in the cable?
