3. A large cylinder (weight 4W, radius 2r) lies on top of two small cylinders,
each having weight W and radius r. The small cylinders are connected by a
wire S (length 3r). All surfaces are smooth. Determine the contact surface
between the larger cylinder and the smaller cylinders.

14. The system consists of bar 3 which is held by two horizontal wires 1 and
2 and which is loaded by a force F. Calculate the force in wire 1

17. An isosceles triangular body is loaded by the forces F, P and the weight
W. The forces acting on the body shall first be replaced by a resultant
force and a resultant moment at point A (reduction to reference point A).
Determine the magnitude of the force F, that the resultant moment around
point A vanishes, such that the body cannot tilt. Use W = 6 kN, P = √2 kN,
and a = 1 m.
18. A uniform beam (weight W, length 4a) rests upon the corner A and the smooth
wall at B. Calculate the angle ∅ for which the beam is in equilibrium.
