Determine the tension in the arm
AB of the link shown when a 30
kg suitcase is lifted centrally as
shown. (TAB=128.3 N)
A pole AB is supported at A by a ball and socket
joint and at B and two inextensible cables, as
shown. Determine the tension in the cables.
The shaft AB of mass 200 kg having a
ball and socket joint at A is placed
against a frictionless angular corner
B, as shown. Determine the reactions
at B.
The frame OAB is supported by two
inextensible cables at A and B, and by a
ball and socket joint at O, as shown.
Determine the location x of the load W for
equilibrium at the configuration shown,
and the tension in the cables.
A 50 kg ventilator window is kept open, as
shown. If a=0.8 m and b=1.2 m, determine
the force in the massless member CD.
An inextensible cable restrains the arm OA
which is mounted on a shaft, as shown. The shaft
is subjected to a torque of 40 Nm. Determine the
compression, bending moment and shear force at
the section B of the shaft.
Determine the tensions in the two
inextensible cables supporting the loaded
beam as shown.
