For the collar of Problem 2.35, determine (a) the required value

(b) the corresponding magnitude of the resultant.
SOLUTION
Rx = ΣFx

For R to be vertical, we must have Rx = 0. We make Rx = 0 in Eq. (1):
−100 cos α + 150 cos (α + 30°) = 0
−100 cos α + 150 (cos α cos 30° − sin α sin 30°) = 0

Using the law of cosines:
(600 N) 2 = (500 N) 2 + (271.89 N)2 + 2(500 N)(271.89 N) cos(55° + α )

Equilibrium condition:
ΣF = 0: TDA + TDB + TDC + (36 lb)j = 0
Substituting the expressions obtained for TDA , TDB , and TDC and factoring i, j, and k:
(0.55471TDA − 0.30151TDB − 0.30151TDC )i + (−0.83206TDA − 0.90453TDB − 0.90453TDC + 36 lb) j

Equating to zero the coefficients of i, j, k:
0.55471TDA − 0.30151TDB − 0.30151TDC = 0
(1)
− 0.83206TDA − 0.90453TDB − 0.90453TDC + 36 lb = 0

A container of weight W is suspended from ring
A, to which cables AC and AE are attached. A

and that is attached to a support at D. Knowing
that W = 1000 N, determine the magnitude of P.
(Hint: The tension is the same in all portions of
cable FBAD.)
SOLUTION
The (vector) force in each cable can be written as the product of the (scalar) force and the unit vector
along the cable. That is, with
AB = −(0.78 m)i + (1.6 m) j + (0 m)k

With the weight of the container
W = −W j, at A we have:

(3)
Knowing that W = 1000 N and that because of the pulley system at B TAB = TAD = P, where P is the
externally applied (unknown) force, we can solve the system of linear Equations (1), (2) and (3) uniquely
for P.

PROBLEM 2.122
Knowing that the tension in cable AC of the
system described in Problem 2.121 is 150 N,
determine (a) the magnitude of the force P, (b)
the weight W of the container.
PROBLEM 2.121 A container of weight W is
suspended from ring A, to which cables AC and
AE are attached. A force P is applied to the end F
of a third cable that passes over a pulley at B and
through ring A and that is attached to a support at
D. Knowing that W = 1000 N, determine the
magnitude of P. (Hint: The tension is the same in
all portions of cable FBAD.)
SOLUTION
Here, as in Problem 2.121, the support of the container consists of the four cables AE, AC, AD, and AB,
with the condition that the force in cables AB and AD is equal to the externally applied force P. Thus,
with the condition
TAB = TAD = P
and using the linear algebraic equations of Problem 2.131 with TAC = 150 N, we obtain

P = 454 N

Dividing Eq. (1′) by (2′),
Now write
