- The homogeneous 20-kg door is held in the horizontal plane by a thrust hinge at O, a hinge at A, and the vertical prop BC. Determine all forces acting on the door.arrow_forwardThe three bars are welded together to form a rigid unit that is supported by three slider bearings. Neglecting the weights of the bars, determine the magnitudes of the three bearing reactions caused by the 120-lbin. couple.arrow_forwardThe homogeneous bar AB weighs 25 lb. Determine the magnitudes of the forces acting on the bar at A and B. Neglect friction.arrow_forward
- The 180-lb homogeneous bar is supported by a ball-and-socket joint at A and two cables attached to B. Determine the forces in the cables.arrow_forwardDetermine the contact force between the smooth 90-kg ball B and the horizontal bar, and the magnitude of the pin reaction at A. Neglect the weights of the bar and the pulley.arrow_forwardThe uniform, 20-kg bar is placed between two vertical surfaces. Assuming sufficient friction at A to support the bar, find the magnitudes of the reactions at A and B.arrow_forward
- The center of gravity of the 3000-lb car is at G. The car is parked on an incline with the parking brake engaged, which locks the rear wheels. Find (a) the normal forces (perpendicular to the incline) acting under the front and rear pairs of wheels; and (b) the friction force (parallel to the incline) under the rear pair of wheels.arrow_forwardThe 12-lb force is applied to the handle of the toggle cutter. Determine the force exerted by the cutting blade CB on the workpiece E.arrow_forwardThe 180-kg uniform boom ABC, supported by a horizontal cable at B and a pin at A, carries a 320-kg load at C. Determine the force in the cable and the magnitude of the pin reaction.arrow_forward
- Can the uniform bar of weight W remain at rest in the position shown?arrow_forwardThe hinge shown is the type used on the doors of some automobiles. If a torsion spring at F applies the constant couple C0=20lbft to member ABF, calculate the force P required to hold the door open in the position shown.arrow_forwardThe figure is a model for member CDE of the frame described in Prob. 4.10. Draw the FBD of the member, neglecting its weight. Count the unknowns.arrow_forward
