Sample Problem 3:

Sample Problem 4:
Three ropes are attached to the post at A in the figure.The forces in the ropes are F1
= 260 lb, F2 = 75 lb, and F3 = 60 lb. Determine the magnitude of the force R that is
equivalent to the three forces shown.
Sample Problem 5:
Specify the magnitude and coordinate directions angles of α,β,γ of F1, so that the
resultant of the three forces acting on the bracket is R = -350k lb. Note that F3 lies in
the x-y plane.
Equilibrium
If the resultant of the force system that acts on the body vanishes.

3 Steps in Equilibrium Analysis


1. Draw the Free Body Diagram (FBD) of the body that shows all of the
forces and couples that act on the body.
2. Write the equilibrium equations in terms of the forces and couples
that appear on the FBD.
3. Solve the equilibrium equations for the unknown.
Sample Problem 1:
The homogeneous 6-m bar AB in the figure is supported in the vertical
plane by rollers at A and B and by a cable at C. The mass of the bar is 50
kg. Draw the FBD of bar AB. Determine the number of unknowns on
the FBD.
Sample Problem 2:
The homogeneous, 120-kg wooden beam is suspended from ropes at A
and B. A power wrench applies the 500-N · m clockwise couple to
tighten a bolt at C. Use the given FBD to determine the tensions in the
ropes.
Sample Problem 3:
The homogeneous 18-kg pulley is attached to the bar ABC with a pin at
B. The mass of the bar is negligible. The cable running over the pulley
carries a tension of 600 N. Determine the magnitudes of the support
reactions at A and C.
Sample Problem :
The nonhomogeneous plate weighing 60 kN has its center of gravity at
G. It is supported in the horizontal plane by three vertical cables.
Compute the tension in each cable using the given FBD.
