Problem 1
The 40-kN homogeneous smooth sphere rests on the two inclines
as shown. Determine the contact forces at A dan B.













Problem 2
The device shown is designed to aid in the removal of
pull-tab tops from cans. If the user exerts a 40-N force
at A, determine the tension T in the portion BC of the
pull-tab.















Problem 3
(a) Determine the reactions at A and E if P =500 N.
(b) What is the value of P which produces zero
reaction at E?







Problem 4
Determine all the reactions at supports A, C,
and E.

















Problem 5
Determine all the reactions at supports A and E.
