PROBLEMS
A force of F = 100 1b shown in Fig.
holds the 400-1b crate in equilibrium.
Determine the coordinates (0, y, z) of
point A if the tension in cords AC and
AB is 700 lb each.
Determine the maximum weight of the
bucket that the wire system can
support so that no single wire
develops a tension exceeding 100 1b.
See Fig.2
A vertical force P = 10 lb is applied
to the ends of the 2-ft cord AB and
spring AC. If the spring has an
unstretched length of 2 £t., determine
the angle @ for equilibrium. Take k =
151b/ft. See Fig.3
The pail and its contents have a mass
of 100 kg. If the cable BAC is 15m
long, determine the distance y to the
pulley at A and tension of the cable
AB and AC for equilibrium as position
shown in Fig.4.

Replace the force and couple moment
system acting on the beam in Figure 1
by an equivalent resultant force, and
find where its line of action
intersects the beam, measured from
point 0.
Determine the resultant force R that is
equivalent to the forces exerted by the
three tugboats as they maneuver the
barge in Figure 2. Specify the
coordinate of the point on the x-axis
through which R passes.
A bar AB of weight W = 2 tons is hinged
to a vertical wall at A and supported
by cable BC. Determine the magnitude
and direction of the reaction at hinge
A and the tensile force T in the cable
BC as shown in Figure 3.
The weight of two children sitting at
ends A and B of a seesaw are 84 lb and
64 lb, respectively. Where should a
third child sit so that the resultant
of the weights of the three children
will pags through C if she weighs 52
1b?
