If cylinder E has a mass of 20 kg and each cable segment can sustain a maximum tension of 400 N, determine the following: 3.1 The largest mass of cylinder F that can be supported by the system is ______ kg. 3.2 The sag yC is equal to ______ m.

QB2: Determine the force in members GH, GB, and BC, and state whether each of these three members is in tension (T) or compression (C), or whether it is a zero-force member (ZFM).

A 12.0 kg weight hangs from a 7.50 m pole as illustrated in the diagram.  The pole has a mass of 8.0 kg.  Determine the tension in the cable, and the "Frictional" and "Normal" forces felt from the wall.

Four sets of flexible cables, spaced at 120° intervals, are used to stabilize a 400-ft communications tower. The tower and one cable from each set is shown in Fig. The weight of each tower is 40 lb/ft, and the communica- tions equipment at the top weighs 2000 lb. Determine the axial forces transmitted by transverse cross sections at points A, B, C, and D of the tower. 50 ft 30 1500 lb 100 ft B 40° 1250 lb 100 ft 50° 1000 lb 100 ft 50 ft 60 750 Ib
