Determine the force P that will keep the pulley system in equilibrium. Neglect the weights of the pullys.

The 600-lb box is held in place on the smooth bed of the dump truck by the rope AB. Find: (a) if a = 25°, what is the tension in the rope? (b) if the rope will safely support a tension of 400 lb, what is the maximum allowable value of a T a B

The following system is in static equilibrium with the strings AB, BC, and CD connected to support the 40N and 50N weights as shown. The middle string BC is exactly horizontal, and points A and D are connected to a rigid support. Calculate the tension forces T₁, T₂, T3, and the angle 8. T₁ A 35° T₁ 35⁰ B 40 N 40 N T2 T2 0 T₂ C 50 N 50 N D T3 T3

The bobcat loader (Figure Q3) has a mass of 1200-kg, shows the center of mass is at G1. If there is a 200-kg pebble in the bucket, with center of mass at G2 determine the reactions of each pair of wheels A and B on the ground and the force in the hydraulic cylinder CD and at the pin E. There is a similar linkage on each side of the loader. L0.5 m E 0.1 m_ D 0.2 m G2 0.18 m G1 0.6 m 0.5 m В 0.45 m 1.2 m 0.15 m 0.2 m 0.05 m Figure Q3
