Draw the free body diagram (FDB) of the system and a) Calculate the moment of F about the center O of the bold if @ = 30°, 'b) Determine the value of @ which would maximize the moment about O and state the value of this maximum moment. Moments are positive if counter clockwise, negative if clockwise. F=120N [16] QUESTION 2 ‘The tension in the supporting cable AB is 10 KN. Write the force which the cable exerts on the boom BC as a vector T. Draw the FBD and determine the angles Ar, Oy and 8; which the line of action of T forms with the positive X-, y= and z= axe.

Draw the FBD and determine the force P required on the lever and the corresponding tension T2 for this position. Assume that the surface under A is perfectly smooth, my QUESTION 4 A uniform steel plate 360 mm square with a mass of 15 kg is suspended in the horizontal plane by the three vertical wires as shown in figure below. Draw the FBD and determine the tension in each wire.
