For the cables of Prob. 2.46, it is known that the maximum allowable tension is 600 N in cable AC and 750 N in cable BC . Determine (a) the maximum force P that can be applied at C, (b) the corresponding value of a.(Reference to Problem 2.46):Two cables are tied together at C and are loaded as shown. Knowing that P = 500 N and a = 60°, determine the tension in (a) in cable AC, (b) in cable BC.
An 8-m long cantilever beam is loaded with vertical forces A = 60 kN and B = 108 kN, separated by a distance d = 5.6 m, as shown. Replace the two forces with a single equivalent force R and determine the distance x-bar (x¯) from the left end of the beam to the line of action of R.
Before the trunk of a large tree is felled, cables AB and BC are attached as shown. Knowing that the tensions in cables AB and BC are 555 N and 660 N, respectively; determine die moment about O of the resultant force exerted on the tree by the cables at B.
