This problem is similar (though not identical) to your HOLD 2 station 2 activity. In this problem you need to balance a pole on a platform at point D using the tension of three cables (OA, OB, and OC) using the setup shown below (look at both the top view and side view). Determine LaD and Foa (weight hanging over pulley B) required to hold the pole in a vertical position. FoA = 5 Ib Foc = 2.5 lb h=2 ft B 1.5 ft A LAD 0=45° 1.75 ft

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.
In the position shown in Fig.4, the excavator applies a 20 kN force parallel to the ground. There are two hydraulic cylinders AC with effective diameter of 95 mm respectively to control the arm AB. Meanwhile, a single cylinder DE with effective diameter of 105 mm to control arm EBIF. Neglecting the weight of the members, determine the pressure against each of the piston for the hydraulic cylinders.
STATIC (I need answer quickly. Thanks) The system given above is in static equilibrium, the position of the ABC arm is controlled by two hydraulic pistons parallel to each other and the forces they apply are tensile forces. Find the forces P and Q applied to the ABC arm from the C point with respect to the FAE and FDG forces.

Question 6In a brewery, hand karts are used for moving beer kegs. A fully loaded kart can transport 2 beer kegs arranged as illustrated in Figure Q6. Each beer keg weighs 40 kg. The centres of gravity of the kegs are G1 and G2 as shown. The designer of the cart recommends that, in operation, the angle of inclination of the kart (α), should range from 250 to 400. And to maintain static equilibrium of the beer keg for an angle of inclination, a force, P, must be applied on the handle of the cart at A, as shown. Determine the corresponding magnitudes of P for α = 250, 300, 350, and 400. Plot a graph of forces to apply (P) on the vertical-axis, against angle of inclination of the kart (α) on the horizontal-axis. As the production floor manager of the brewery, use your graph to explain to the HR manager why relatively taller personnel should be employed as hand cart operators

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.
The figure shows a schematic for a hydraulic jack. Lever AC is hinged at A. The upper valve at D is closed; the lower valve at D is open. The density of hydraulic ‡uid is 833 kg/m3. Make an estimate for the force required at C to hold the system in equilibrium. You may assume the lever is approximately horizontal, and you may neglect the weight of the platform on which the car is sitting. Be sure to include the assumptions you must make in order to obtain this estimate.
can you help me determine the location where the system reduces to force-only
