EXAMPLE 2.1
The sphere in Fig. below has a mass of 6 kg and is supported as shown.
Draw a free-body diagram of the sphere, the cord CE, and the knot at C
SOLUTION
Sphere. Once the supports are
removed, we can see that there are
four forces acting on the sphere,
namely, its weight, 6 kg (9.81 m/s2) =
58.9 N,
