GOAL Apply the two conditions of equilibrium. (a) A uniform beam attached to a wall and supported by a cable. (b) A force diagram for the beam. (c) The component form of the force diagram. Three figures (labeled a, b, and c) are shown for the person-beam system. In Figure (a), an illustration of the scenario is shown. The left end of a horizontal beam of length 5.00 m is connected to a pin on a vertical wall. A cable connects the right end of the beam to the top of the wall, creating an acute angle 53.0° with the horizontal. A person stands on the beam between the left end and the center. In Figure (b), a horizontal beam is under the influence of four forces. A force vector R acts up and right on the left end of the beam. A force of magnitude 600 N acts downwards on the beam between the left end and the center. A force of magnitude 300 N acts downwards on the center of the beam. A force vector T acts up and left on the right end of the beam at an acute angle 53.0° from the…
Question 2) The figure shows a mechanical model of the Russel fracture traction device and the leg. The leg is held in balance in the position indicated by the two weights attached to the two cables. The combined weight of the leg and the cast is W=210 N. The horizontal distance between points A and B where the cables are attached to the leg is L=100 cm and the vertical distance is d=6 cm. Point C is the center of gravity of the cast and leg at three quarters of the L measured from point A (3L/4= 75 cm). The angle that cable 2 makes with the horizontal is measured as β=33°.

A bored student builds a levitating lantern using objects they 3D printed in the Fischer Engineering Design Center. The student connects the blue and green pieces with two strings at points A and B, as shown below. If the blue (top) object weighs 181 g and the tension in string A is 3.2 N, what is the distance from the left side of the object to its center of mass in cm? Assume the system is in static equilibrium.
A 50 kg pole extends up a wall, making a 60° angle with the wall. The pole is supported by acable attached 3/4 of the way along the pole. This support cable is perpendicular to the wall.A 10 kg sign hangs from the end of the pole. The pole’s center of mass is 1/3 of the way fromthe wall to the end of the pole.

Three forces act on particle A located at the origin of an x-y coordinate system. Force B acts at 140o from the positive x-axis, and force C acts at 15o from the positive x-axis. The weight acts down with a magnitude of W = 100 kN. Use the equations of equilibrium to determine the magnitudes of B and C such that particle A is in equilibrium. Carefully draw a neat, labeled, free body diagram of particle C. Based on your FBD develop two equilibrium equations in terms of the symbols defined on your free body diagram. Find angles α and β.

Learning Goal: To use the equations of equilibrium for a three-dimensional object to solve for the support reactions. The plate shown in (Figure 1) is supported by a roller and a cable in the xx-direction at AA, a ball-and-socket joint at BB, and a roller at CC. A force FFF = 6.6 kNkN is applied at the centroid of the plate parallel to the yzyz-plane and making an angle of θθtheta = 34 ∘∘ with the xyxy-plane. The sides ABAB and BCBC of the plate have length LLL = 1.2 mm . What is the reaction force in the yy-direction at point BB? Let a positive force act in the positive yy-direction. What is the reaction force in the zz-direction at point CC? What is the reaction force in the zz-direction at point AA? What is the reaction force in the zz-direction at point BB? What is the tension TT in the cable? What is the reaction force in the xx-direction at point BB? Let a positive force act in the positive xx-direction.
