HHW 6h2. A bracket, ABDE is subjected to three forces as shown. Determine the force-couple about A. All forces act in coordinate directions. 120 N 200 man 100 mm 300 N 160 mm 250 N 50 N

The proper representation of the force of a flexible cable, belt, chain, or rope if the weight of the cable, belt, chain, or Tope is negligible is: A force in tension along the cable, belt, chain, or rope and a moment about the point at which the cable, belt, chain, or rope is connected to the object. A force along the cable, belt, chain, or rope in tension. A force along the cable, belt, chain, or rope either in tension or compression. A force with one component along the cable, belt, chain, or rope and another component perpendicular to the cable, belt, chain, or rope.
