Tutorial 1b: Equilibrium of Rigid Body
Question 1
Determine the reactions at A and B when h =
200 mm. (586N, 520N)
Question 2
Question 4
Neglecting friction, determine the tension in
cable ABD and the reaction at support C.
(90N, 100.6N, 26.6°)
A lever AB is hinged at C and is attached to a
control cable at A. If the lever is subjected to a
300-N vertical force at B, determine
(a) The tension in the cable
(b) The reaction at C.
(477N, 715N)
Question 5
Knowing that the tension in wire BD is 1.35
kN, determine the reaction at fixed support C
for the frame shown.(2047.3N, 88.1°, 81.5Nm)
Question 3
Beam AD carries the two 180 N loads shown.
The beam is held by a fixed support at D and
by the cable BE which is attached to the
counter-weight W. Determine the reaction at D
when
(a) W = 450 N,
(b) W = 400 N.(90N, 27Nm, 40N, 48Nm)
