The cantilevered jib crane is used to support the load of 780 lb, if. x = 5 ft. determine the reactions at the supports Note that the supports are collars that allow the crane to rotate freely about the vertical axis. The collar at B supports a force in the vertical direction, whereas the one at A does not.

- The 1200-lb homogeneous block is placed on rollers and pushed up the 10 incline at constant speed. Determine the force P and the roller reactions at A and B.arrow_forwardThe three bars are welded together to form a rigid unit that is supported by three slider bearings. Neglecting the weights of the bars, determine the magnitudes of the three bearing reactions caused by the 120-lbin. couple.arrow_forwardThe cable is loaded by an 80-lb vertical force at C and a horizonal force P at B. Determine P.arrow_forward
- The 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 woman is trying to move the crate of weight W by pulling on the rope at the angle to the horizontal. Find the smallest possible tension that would cause the crate to slide and the corresponding angle .arrow_forwardThe two uniform cylinders, each of weight W, are resting against inclined surfaces. Neglecting friction, draw the free-body diagrams for each cylinder and for the two cylinders together.

- The figure is a model for member CDE of the frame described in Prob. 4.10. Draw the FBD of the member, neglecting its weight. Count the unknowns.arrow_forwardThe jib crane is designed for a maximum capacity of 14 kN, and its uniform I-beam has a mass of 270 kg. Plot the magnitude R of the force on the pin at A as a function of x through its operating range of x = 0.2 m to x = 4.0 m. On the same set of axes, plot the x- and y-components of the pin reaction at A. Do these plots on a separate piece of paper.
