- The center of gravity of the 3000-lb car is at G. The car is parked on an incline with the parking brake engaged, which locks the rear wheels. Find (a) the normal forces (perpendicular to the incline) acting under the front and rear pairs of wheels; and (b) the friction force (parallel to the incline) under the rear pair of wheels.arrow_forwardThe uniform, 20-kg bar is placed between two vertical surfaces. Assuming sufficient friction at A to support the bar, find the magnitudes of the reactions at A and B.arrow_forwardThe homogeneous 20-kg door is held in the horizontal plane by a thrust hinge at O, a hinge at A, and the vertical prop BC. Determine all forces acting on the door.arrow_forward
- The tongs shown are designed for lifting blocks of ice. If the weight of the ice block is W, find the horizontal force between the tongs and the ice block at C and D. Neglect the weights of the tongs.arrow_forwardThe uniform 240-lb bar AB is held in the position shown by the cable AC. Compute the tension in the cable.arrow_forwardThe uniform bar of weight W is held in equilibrium by the couple C0. Find C0 in terms of W, L, and .arrow_forward
- The homogeneous 80-kg sign is suspended from a ball-and-socket joint at O, and cables AD and BC. Determine the forces in the cables.arrow_forwardA uniform 80-ft pipe that weighs 960 lb is supported entirely by a cable AB of negligible weight. Determine the length of the cable and the maximum force in the cable. (Hint: First locate the point O where the cable is tangent to the pipe.)arrow_forward
