Member ABC is supported by arm BD (pin connections at B and D) and a pin support at A.
Member ABC weighs 12 lbs., while the weight of arm BD is negligible in comparison. Assume
member ABC is homogeneous having a center of gravity at its midpoint. If a force of T = 45 lb
is applied at point C as shown, determine the support reactions at pin A and the reaction at pin B.
State whether arm BD is in tension or compression.
The figure shows the Russel fracture traction device and a mechanical model of the leg. The leg is held in balance in the position indicated by the two weights attached to the two cables. The combined weight of the leg and cast is W=180 N. The horizontal distance between points A and B where the cables are attached to the leg is L=100 cm and the vertical distance is d=5 cm. Point C is the center of gravity of the cast and leg at three quarters of the L measured from point A (3L/4= 75 cm). The angle that cable 2 makes with the horizontal is measured as β=30°. Accordingly, in order for the leg to remain in balance in the shown position;
a) Find the tensile force T1 in cable 1. (Write your result in N) Answerb) Find the tensile force T2 in cable 2. (Write your result in N) Answerc) Find the angle α of cable 1 with the horizontal. Response
The ramp of a ship has a weight of F Ib acts in the center of gravity at G. The ramp is supported
by a pin at point "A" and a smooth surface on "B".
If the ramp was in equilibrium, answer the following questions:
a. Draw the free body diagram of the ramp AB.
b. Determine the cable force at C that is needed to lift the ramp (that makes the reaction
at B equals to Zero).
c. Determine the horizontal and vertical components of reaction at pin A.
Take the values of F (kN), a (deg) and X (m) from Table 1.
