    (Equilibrium)

    1. Determine the tension in cables CA and CB.


    Ans. TCA = 2870 N, TCB = 3520 N.

    2. The uniform bar has a mass per unit length of 60


    kg/m. Determine the reactions at the supports.
    Ans. Ay = 3060 N, By = 2060 N.

    3. A man pushes the 40 kg machine with mass


    centre at G up an incline at a steady speed.
    Determine the required force magnitude P and
    the normal reaction forces at A and B. Neglect
    the small effects of friction.
    Ans. P = 112.1 N, NB = 219 N, NA = 207 N.

    4. The uniform bar AB has a mass of 50 kg and


    supports the 200-kg load at A. Calculate the
    tension in the supporting cable and the magnitude
    FB of the force supported by the pin at B.
    Ans. T = 7650 N, FB = 5660 N
    5. A uniform ring of mass m and radius r carries an
    eccentric mass m0 at a radius b and is in an
    equilibrium position on the incline, which makes
    an angle  with the horizontal. If the contacting
    surfaces are rough enough to prevent slipping,
    write the expression for the angle  which defines
    the equilibrium position.

    Ans.  sin 1  1   sin  
    b  m0  

    6. The two planks are connected by a large spike. If


    a force P = 120 N is required on the handle of
    each crowbar to loosen the spike, calculate the
    corresponding tension T in the spike. Also find
    the value of b which will eliminate any tendency
    to bend the spike. State any assumptions which
    you make.
    Ans. T = 1560 N, b = 53.8 mm

    7. A former student of mechanics wishes to weigh


    himself but has access only to a scale A with
    capacity limited to 400 N and a small 80-N
    spring dynamometer B. With the rig shown he
    discovers that when he exerts a pull on the rope
    so that B registers 76 N, the scale A reads 268 N.
    What are his correct weight and mass m?
    Ans. W= 648 N, m= 66.1 kG

    8. The exercise machine consists of a lightweight


    cart which is mounted on small rollers so that it is
    free to move along the inclined ramp. Two cables
    are attached to the cart – one for each hand. If the
    hands are together so that the cables are parallel
    and if each cable lies essentially in a vertical
    plane, determine the force P which each hand
    must exert on its cable in order to maintain an
    equilibrium position. The mass of the person is
    70 kg, the ramp angle is 150 and the angle  is
    180. In addition, calculate the force R which the
    ramp exerts on the cart.
    Ans. P = 45.5 N, R = 691 N
    9. The rear-wheel-drive car has a mass of 1400 kg
    with mass center at G. First calculate the normal
    forces under the front and rear wheel pairs when
    the car is at normal test. Then repeat your
    calculations for the case shown where the front
    bumper is tested by causing the car to push, via
    its rear wheels, against the fixed barrier with a
    2500-N force. Neglect friction at the bumper-
    barrier interface, but not at the tire-ground
    interface.
    Ans. Normally, NA = 6310 N, NB = 7430 N
    Under test, NA = 6720 N, NB = 7010 N

    10. The 5-m uniform steel beam has a mass of 600


    kg and is to be lifted from the ring at B with the
    two chains, AB of length 3 ,m, and CB of length
    4 m. Determine the tension in chain AB when the
    beam is clear of the platform.
    Ans. T = 3.53 kN

    11. A 50-kg acrobat pedals her unicycle across the


    taut but slightly elastic cable. If the deflection at
    the center of the 18-m span is 75 mm, determine
    the tension in the cable. Neglect the effects of the
    weights of the cable and unicycle.
    Ans. T = 29.4 kN

    12. The uniform 30-kg bar with end rollers is


    supported by the horizontal and vertical surfaces
    and by the wire AC. Calculate the tension T in
    the wire and the reactions against the rollers at A
    and at B.
    Ans. 73.6 N, B = 196.2 N, T = 295 N
