2. PROBLEM STATEMENT

Particle statics

3. ACTIVITIES

3.1 Express the force as a Cartesian vector.

Figure 3.1
3.2 Determine the directions cosines of the force and the components x, y and z

Figure 3.2

3.3 Express the force as a Cartesian vector.

Figure 3.3

3.4 Determine the tensions in cables AB , AC and AD.

Figure 3.4
3.5 The horizontal steel shaft has a mass of 480 kg and is suspended by a vertical cable from A
and by a second cable BC which lies in a vertical transverse plane and loops underneath the
shaft. Calculate the tensions T1 and T2 in the cables.

Figure 3.5

3.6 The uniform rectangular panel ABCD has a mass of 40 kg and is hinged at its corners A and
B to the fixed vertical surface. A wire from E to D keeps edges BC and AD horizontal. Hinge
A can support thrust along the hinge axis AB , whereas hinge B supports force normal to the
hinge axis only. Find the tension T in the wire and the magnitude B of the force supported by
hinge B.

Figure 3.6
3.7 A uniform steel ring 600 mm in diameter has a mass of 50 kg and is lifted by the three cables,
each 500 mm long, attached at points A, B, and C as shown. Find the tension in each cable.

3.8 Determine the tension T required to hold the rectangular solid in the position shown. The
125-kg rectangular solid is homogeneous. Friction at D is negligible.
