- If cylinder E has a mass of 20 kg and each cable segment can sustain a maximum tension of 400 N, determine the following: 3.1 The largest mass of cylinder F that can be supported by the system is ______ kg. 3.2 The sag yC is equal to ______ m.arrow_forwardThe cantilevered jib crane is used to support the load of 780 lb. If the trolley T can be placed anywhere between 1.5 ft ≤ x ≤ 7.5 ft, determine the maximummagnitude of reaction at the supports A and B. Note that the supports are collars that allow the crane to rotate freely about the vertical axis. The collar at B supports a force in the vertical direction, whereas the one at A does not.arrow_forwardIn each case, determine the force P required to maintain equilibrium.

- The disk B has a mass of 20 kg and is supported on the smooth cylindrical surface by a spring with stiffness k= 400 N/m and unstretched length l0= 1 m. The spring remains in the horizontal position since its end A is attached to the small roller guide which has negligible weight. Determine the equilibrium angle of the roller.arrow_forwardThe rope that makes up the system has a total length of 5 m.At D there is a load of weight W = 1320 N.Calculate the value of the load to be placed at B so that the system remains in equilibrium when S = 1,5 m.arrow_forwardThe crate has a mass of 130 kg. 1.
