Q2: Member BD exerts on member ABC a force P directed along line BD. Knowing that P must have a 300-1b horizontal component, determine (a) the magnitude of the force P, (b) its vertical component.

3.96 To keep a door closed, a wooden stick is wedged between the floor and the doorknob. The stick exerts at B a 175-N force directed along line AB. Replace that force with an equivalent force-couple system at C.

Two bolts at A and B are used to move the trunk of a fallen tree. Replace the forces exerted by the ropes with an equivalent wrench and determine (a) the resultant force , (b) the pitch of the wrench, (c) the point where the axis of the wrench intersects the yz plane.

Problem #1 The inclined pole is subjected to a 5 kN magnitude force vector F acting from point B towards point C. В (1,5, 6) m (a) Determine the angle 0 that exists between the force vector F and the pole AB. F (b) Determine the magnitude of the component of the force vector F that acts parallel to the pole AB. A y (c) Determine the magnitude of the component of the force vector that acts perpendicular to the pole AB. С (4, 3, 0) m (d) If the maximum allowable compressive force (i.e., Parallel Component of F) the pole AB can resist is 8 kN, determine the largest magnitude of the vector F that can be applied at B in the direction shown to satisfy this condition.
