1. a) A 38 kg container is hanging from ring A, supported by cable BAC, which runs through the ring
and is fixed at points B and C. To keep the container in its current position, two forces, P = Pi and Find the radius of gyration and moment of inertia of the shared area, as illustrated in the figure
Q = Qk, are exerted on the ring. Find the values of P and Q, assuming that the tension in both below, with respect to the 'X' and 'Y' axes. [10]
sections of cable BAC is equal. [9]

b) Can the man, with a weight of 813 N and a shoe-ground friction coefficient of 0.4, move the 1565
N crate on the ground, given that the crate has a coefficient of static friction of 0.3 with the
ground? Justify the answer with the help of proper solution. [8]
