    The document summarizes two problems from an engineering mechanics tutorial on equilibrium in three dimensions. The first problem involves determining forces on a shear leg derrick lifting a net of fish. The second problem involves determining forces on three struts supporting a 500-kg block. For each problem, the document provides the problem statement, diagram, and solution but not the detailed calculations.

    Engineering Mechanics (statics) (MEE1EMS)
    Equilibrium in three dimensions
    1. The shear leg derrick is used to haul the 200-kg net of fish onto the dock. Determine
    the compressive force along each of the legs AB and CB and the tension in the winch
    cable DB. Assume the force in each leg acts along its axis.

    Answer: (FAB=2.52 KN, FCB=2.52 KN, FBD=3.64 KN)

    2. Determine the force acting along the axis of each of the three struts needed to support
    the 500-kg block.
    Answer: (FB=19.2 KN, FC=10.4 KN, FD=6.32 KN)
