Practice question

Four direct lashings (Diagonalzurren) with $LC = 2,500 daN$ each are attached to four corners of a heavy container. The horizontal angle is $β = 30^°$ ($cos 30^° ≈ 0.866$) and the vertical angle is $α = 30^°$ ($cos 30^° ≈ 0.866$). How much direct restraining force does ONE strap provide in the forward longitudinal direction ($F_{x,strap} = LC · cos α · cos β$)?

  1. Approx. 1,875 daN ($2,500 · 0.866 · 0.866 ≈ 1,875 daN$)
  2. 2,500 daN
  3. 1,250 daN
  4. 3,750 daN

Answer: A — Approx. 1,875 daN ($2,500 · 0.866 · 0.866 ≈ 1,875 daN$)
