The boom supports the two vertical loads. Neglect the size of the collars at D and B and the thickness of the boom, and compute the horizontal and vertical components of force at the pin A and the force in cable CB. Set F1 = 800 N and F2 = 350 N.

- The vertical post is supported by two cables (the cable BFC runs over a smooth peg at F) and an inclined surface. Compute the tension in the cables caused by the 1200Nm couple. Neglect the weight of the post.arrow_forwardThe cable supports three 400-lb loads as shown. If the maximum allowable tension in the cable is 900 lb, find the smallest possible sag hC at C.arrow_forwardCable AB supports the uniformly distributed load of 4 kN/m. If the slope of the cable at A is zero, compute (a) the maximum tensile force in the cable; and (b) the length of the cable.arrow_forward
- The pins at the end of the retaining-ring spreader fit into holes in a retaining ring. When the handgrip is squeezed, the pins spread the retaining ring, allowing its insertion or removal. Determine the spreading force P caused by the 8-lb forces applied to the handgrip.arrow_forwardThe woman is trying to move the crate of weight W by pulling on the rope at the angle to the horizontal. Find the smallest possible tension that would cause the crate to slide and the corresponding angle .arrow_forwardThe pulley-cable system supports the 150-lb weight. The weights of the pulleys and the horizontal bar ABC are negligible. Determine the cable tensions at A and C and the distance x.arrow_forward
