The compound bar is supported by a thrust bearing at A, a slider bearing at B, and the cable CD. Determine the tension in the cable and the magnitude of the bearing reaction at A. Neglect the weight of the bar.

Determine the forces in each of the cable AC, BD, and BE. Also find the reaction forces at point O (ball joint). A C 0.75 m 1m 0.75 m B 400 kg 1.5 m 2 m D 1 m E 1m x

2. Determine the horizontal and vertical components of reaction which the pins exert on member AB of the frame. In other words, find the reactions at pins A and B. 300 lb 60° B 4 ft E -3 ft -3 ft 500 lb

The 40-kg uniform triangular plate is supported by two small hinges A and B and the cable system shown. For the horizontal position of the plate, determine all hinge reactions and the tension T in the cable. Hinge A can resist axial thrust, but hinge B cannot. See Table D/3 in Appendix D for the mass-center location of a triangular plate. Answers: Ax= Ay- A₂ 0.43 m 0.20 m By B₂= 0.20 m 0.43 m T= 0.91 m. Z Z N N z z N N N N 1.30 m
