6.66 Auniform 80-t 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.)
A uniform beam that 10-m long is being supported by two men, one man at each end. The weight of the beam. Is 100-N. If the first man supporting at the right side exert twice as much as the second man on the left, where must a 50-N motor be placed (measured from the first man) on top of the beam? Show complete solution.

Bearing C exerts an axial force (force along the shaft) preventing the mechanism from sliding along axis BC. The spring is currently stretched 50 mm in the position shown and is aligned parallel to the y-axis. Note: bearings B and Care positioned along the x-axis and properly aligned so they do NOT exert any reaction moments on the mechanism.
