Situation 14 - A tubular post of outer diameter d2 is guyed by two cables fitted with turnbuckles. The
cables are tightened by rotating the turnbuckles, thus producing tension in the cables and compression
in the post. Both cables are tightened to a tensile force of 110 kN. Also, the angle between the cables and
the ground is 60°, and the allowable compressive stress in the post is σC = 35 MPa.
