If the roller at B can sustain a maximum load of 4.5 kN, determine the largest magnitude of each of the three forces F that can be supported by the truss.
A diving board 3.00 m long is supported at a point 1.00 m fromthe end, and a diver weighing 500 N stands at the free end (Fig. ).The diving board is of uniform cross section and weighs 280 N. Find(a) the force at the support point and (b) the force at the left-hand end.
The figure shows three boards clamped together. The center board weighs 93.5 N, and the coefficient of static friction between the boards is 0.490. What is the minimum magnitude of the horizontal compression forces (in N) acting on either side of the center board so it does not slip?
