Using two ropes and a roller chute, two workers are unloading a 200-lb cast-iron counterweight from a truck. Knowing that at the instant shown the counterweight is kept from moving and that the positions of points A, B, and C are, respectively, A(0, –20 in., 40 in.), B(–40 in., 50 in., 0), and C(45 in., 40 in., 0), and assuming that no friction exists between the counterweight and the chute, determine the tension in each rope. (Hint: Because there is no friction, the force exerted by the chute on the counterweight must be perpendicular to the chute.)
A uniform cable weighing 3 lb/ft is held in the position shown by a horizontal force P applied at B . Knowing that P = 180 lb and 0A= 60°, determine (a) the location of point B, (b) the length of the cable.
In order to uncoil electrical wire from a 0.6-m-radius spool fixed to a truck, a worker drives to the left with a speed of vA = 5 m/s. At the same time, a second worker holds the cable as he walks to the right with a speed of vB = 3 m/s. Knowing that at the instant shown the thickness of wire on the spool is 40 mm, determine (a) the instantaneous center of rotation of the spool, (b) the velocity of point D on the inside of the spool.
