i attached a picture of what it looks like. I am supposed to find the reactions at c & d, and the reactions at a & c. i think its supposed to be done using a 2 force system. i have no clue how to even start this.
I am having trouble with a HW question that has been driving me crazy for a few days now. I have to solve for W ( a hanging weight) that will not cause either T1 or T2 to exceed 1050N. So far I have drawn the free body diagram that is attached as a word doc, and the angles I found based on the...
ive been wrestling with this for almost an hour and don't even know where to begin.
A)The .732M X 1.2M lid of ABCD of a storage bin is hinged along side AB and is held open by looping cord DEC over a frictionless hook at E. if the tension in the cord is 54, determine the moment about each...
a lever is resting on a valve. the valve is located 3 in from the end of the lever. the total length of the lever is 9.5 in. a 4 lb force is present at the opposite end of the lever. the force makes a 28 deg angle with the lever. the lever makes a 20 deg angle with the horizontal. I am supposed...
ive been wrestling with this for an hour and a half, and all I've got it Theta y and Fy.
a tree is being supported by cables. the tension in cable AB is 4.2 KN.
all it gives me to go on is 2 angles. it 40 deg toward z axis from x axis. and the cable makes an angle of 40 deg with the ground...
There are three cables holding a beam in place. one cable, AC, is horizontal and coming off the left top of the beam. it has a value of 4KN. Another cable,AD, makes a 30 deg angle with AC and has a value of 5.2 KN. I need to find the magnitude of the third cable,AE, and the total force on the...
