The bent rod of negligible weight is supported by the ball-and-socket joint at B and the cables attached to points A and C. Find the forces in the cables and the magnitude of the reaction at B. Dimensions Figure P.5.39
A cylindrical brick chimney of height H weighs w = 825 lb/ft of height (see figure). The inner and outer diameters are d1= 3 ft and d2= 4 ft, respectively. The wind pressure against the side of the chimney is p = 10 lb/ft2 of projected area. Determine the maximum height H if there is to be no tension in the brickwork.
The bar ABC is supported by three identical, ideal springs. Note that the springs are always vertical because the collars to which they are attached are free to slide on the horizontal rail. Find the angle at equilibrium if W = kL. Neglect the weight of the bar.
Dr. Alexander is holding a briefcase with straight arm. Assume weight of the briefcase FB = 35 N, weight of the forearm FFA = 10 N, weight of the upper arm FUA = 15 N, moment arm of FB = 0.45 m, moment arm of FFA = 0.30 m, moment arm of FUA = 0.11 m, and moment arm of Fm = 0.03 m. Also, FM is 35 degrees above the horizontal. Calculate (1) muscle force FM, and (2) joint reaction forces Fj,x and Fj,y
A former Mechanics student wants to weigh himself but only has a scale A limited to 400 N and a small spring dynamometer B that measures up to 80 N. With the assembly shown, he discovers that, by pulling the rope so that B points to 76 N , the scale reads 268 N. What are its correct weight W and mass m? (see img)

A 50 kg fisherman sits at the center of the boat rented in a private resort, which has a uniform width and a weight per linear foot of32 lb/ft, that will be used for island hoping in the area. The boat is 3 m long. Assume that the water exerts a uniform distributed load upward on the bottom of the boat. a) What is the applied load (lb) applied to the boat due to the weight of the fisherman? Round up to the next whole value. b) Using the applied load at Item a, what is the maximum shear force (lb) exerted on the boat?
A ball of mass mand radius Rrests at the edge of a step barrier of height has shown in thefigure. There is a horizontal force Tapplied to the ball from its top through a string wrapped around the ball to lift it above the barrier as shown in the figure. What is the minimum tension required to begin to lift the ball off the ground? (g = 9.8 m/s2, m = 1 kg, R = 0.5 m, h = 0.2 m).
A uniform horizontal beam with a length of 1.7 m and a weight of 200 N is attached to a wall by a pin connection. Its far end is supported by a cable that makes an angle of 35.0° with the horizontal.

Find the direction of the force the hinge exerts on the bridge. c) If the cable suddenly breaks, what is the initial angular acceleration of the bridge?
The simplest truss consists of two rods and is loaded by the force F. Given: F = 7 kN. Angle α = 50 degrees. Find: the algebraic (positive or negative) value (in kN) of normal force N2 in the rod 2, considering that N2>0 for tension and N2<0 for compression.
a ladder whose length L is 12 m and whose mass is 45 kg rests against a wall. Its upper end is a distance h of 9.3 m above the ground, as in the Figure. The center of gravity of the ladder is one-third of the way up the ladder. A firefighter whose mass M is 72 kg climbs halfway up the ladder. Assume that the wall, but not the ground is frictionless. What forces are exerted on the ladder by the wall and by the ground?
