5.1 In each case, determine the force P


required to maintain equilibrium. The
block weighs 100 lb.

Ans:
a) P = 25.0 lb
b) P = 33.3 lb
c) P = 11.1 lb

5.2 Determine the horizontal and


vertical components of force at C which
member ABC exerts on member CEF.

Ans:
Cx = 75 lb
Cy = 100 lb

5.3 The front of the car is to be lifted


using a rigid 10-ft long board. The car
weighs 3,500 lb with center of gravity
at G. Determine the position x of the
fulcrum so that an applied force of 100
lb at E will lift the front of the car.

Ans: x = 9.43 ft
5.4 The engine hoist is used to support
the 200-kg engine. Determine the force
acting in the hydraulic cylinder AB, the
horizontal and vertical components of
force at the pin C and the reactions at
the fixed support D.

Ans:
FAB = 9.23 kN
Cx = 2.17 kN
Cy = 7.01 kN
Dx = 0
Dy = 1.96 kN
MD = 2.66 kN-m

5.5 The wall crane supports a load of


700 lb. Determine the horizontal and
vertical components of reaction at the
pins A and D. Also, what is the force in
the cable at the winch W?

Ans:
T = 350 lb
Ay = 700 lb
Ax = 1.88 kip
Dx = 1.70 kip
Dy = 1.70 kip

5.6 The compound arrangement of the


pan scale is shown. If the mass on the
pan is 4 kg, determine the horizontal
and vertical components of force at pins
A, B and C and the distance x of the 25-
g mass to keep the scale in balance.

Ans:
Ay = 34.0 N, Ax = 0
Cy = 6.54 N, Cx = 0
By = 1.06 N, Bx = 0
x = 292 mm,
