The pipe assembly of the figure is supported by a fixed support at point A. A couple-moment
and a force are applied at points B and C, respectively. In Cartesian coordinates, the applied
couple-moment is MB = -150 k N-m, and the applied force is Fc = + 200ĵ Newtons. You
may neglect the weight of the pipe assembly.
1. Draw a FBD which is suitable for solution of this problem, when seeking the unknown
force and moment reactions at the fixed support, Point A. You may use the existing
drawing given below.
Your FBD must clearly/correctly show the force and moment reaction vectors. Use double
arrowheads to distinguish moment vectors from force vectors.
2. Calculate F°MA, which is the moment generated at A due to the force applied at Point C.
3. Write the equations of equilibrium and solve to find the reactions at Point A. Specifically,
find the force-reaction vector, A and the moment-reaction vector, *MA-

1.1 A steam power station uses coals of calorific value of 5308 kcal/kg. The overall efficiency of the power station is 21.5% and a coal power station uses 6,98tonnes of coal every 15 minutes to generate the maximum demand. The purchasing price of coals is R600 per tonne. (NB: 1 kWh = 861 kcal)(a) Determine the coal consumption in kg per kWh (b) Determine the cost of purchasing the coals per week if the load factor is 65%.
