Final answer:
Rank the design scenarios based on the tension in the supporting cable. The correct order is a, b, d, e, c, f or a, b, d, e, f, c or a, b, d, f, c, e or a, b, d, f, e, c.
Step-by-step explanation:
The correct rank of the design scenarios from largest to smallest tension in the supporting cable is:
- a, b, d, e, c, f
- a, b, d, e, f, c
- a, b, d, f, c, e
- a, b, d, f, e, c
To determine the ranking, you need to analyze the given scenarios and compare the order of the elements (a, b, d, c, e, f). The largest tension would correspond to the scenario with the highest-ranked element, and the smallest tension would correspond to the scenario with the lowest-ranked element.
