Problem Sets 4

This document contains 4 physics problems related to statics of rigid bodies: 1) Determining the angle alpha for equilibrium of a structure with rods of length L and weight W. 2) Determining the magnitude and direction of the minimum force needed to pull a 50kg roller over a smooth step. 3) Determining the forces in each spring and the reaction at a pin supporting a rigid beam with springs of different stiffnesses. 4) Plotting the tension required for static equilibrium of a 1.5kg link attached to a spring as the angle theta varies from 0 to 45 degrees.
