The cords suspend the two small buckets in the equilibrium position shown. Draw the free-body diagrams for each of the points F and C. 40° A 20° 20° B 65° Solution 1. Imagine the points F and C to be separated or detached from the system. 2. Each of F and C is subjected to three external forces. For F, they are caused by: i. ii. iii. For C, they are caused by: i. iii. 3. Draw the free-body diagrams of F and C showing all these forces labeled with their magnitudes and directions. You should also include any other available information e.g. lengths, angles etc. which will help when formulating the equilibrium equations at these points.

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.
The homogeneous 240-lb bar is supported by a rough horizontal surface at A, a smooth vertical surface at B, and the cable BC. Draw the FBD of the bar and count the unknowns.
The weight of the uniform bar AB is W. The stiffness of the ideal spring attached to B is k, and the spring is unstretched when =80. If W=kL, the bar has three equilibrium positions in the range 0, only one of which is stable. Determine the angle at the stable equilibrium position.
The stiffness of the ideal spring that is compressed by the slider C is k = 250 N/m. The spring is unstretched when =20. When the mass m is suspended from A, the system is in equilibrium at =60. Determine the value of m and whether the equilibrium position is stable or unstable.
The cable of mass 1.8 kg/m is attached to a rigid support at A and passes over a smooth pulley at B. If the mass M = 40 kg is attached to the free end of the cable, find the two values of H for which the cable will be in equilibrium. (Note: The smaller value of H represents stable equilibrium.)
