The homogeneous bar ABCD shown in figure below is supported by acable that runs from A to B around the smooth peg at E, a vertical cableat C, and a smooth inclined surface at D. Determine the mass of theheaviest bar that can be supported if the stress in each cable is limitedto 100 MPa. The area of the cable AB is 250 mm2 and that of the cableat C is 300 mm2.
The triangular block shown in the figure is subjected to the loads P = 1600 lb. and F = 600 lb. If AB = 8 in and BC = 6 in., resolve each load into components normal and tangential to AC.
The block of weight W in the figure below hangs from the pin at A. The bars AB and AC are pinned to the support at B and C. The areas are 800 mm2 for AB and 400 mm2 for AC. Neglecting the weight of the bars, determine the maximum safe value of W if the stress in AB is limited to 110 MPa and the in AC to 120 MPa.
