Problem 5.142
Boom OABC is supported by a socket at O, cable EABF that passes through
small frictionless loops at A and B, and a cable at C that supports a force T
1
and whose line of action is directed toward D. The distances between points O
and A, A and B, and B and C are equal.
(a) If T
1
D 0, qualitatively describe the equilibrium position of the boom.
(b) For the static equilibrium position shown, determine the value of T
1
, the
force T
2
supported by cable EABF, and the reactions at O. Hint: A
numerical solution of the equilibrium equations is recommended.
Solution
Part (a)
If T

D 0, boom OABC lies in the y plane.
Part (b) The FBD for boom OABC is shown at the right. Since
cable EABF is a single cable, and is assumed to be weightless with
frictionless rings at points A and B, the tensile force it supports is
uniform and is denoted by T

Problem 5.146
A structure consists of a thin at plate and two short bars with bearing supports
at A and B, where the bearing at B is self-aligning. The plate is loaded at its
center by a 100 lb vertical force and by a 40 lb force in the x direction at one of
the corners.
(a) Does the plate have complete xity or partial xity, and is it statically
determinate or statically indeterminate? Explain.
(b) Determine all reactions at A and B.
Solution
Part (a) The FBD for the plate is shown at the right. Note that
since bearing B is self aligning, it cannot support any moment
reactions. Examining the plate shows that it cannot translate in
any of the x, y, or directions, and it cannot rotate about any
of the x, y, or axes, hence it has full xity. The FBD has six
unknown reactions, and since there are six equilibrium equations,
it is statically determinate since it has full xity.

point A provides

Problem 8.83
A historically important shipwreck is to be recovered, and a number of fragile wooden
beams must be lifted. Specify the dimension d (in terms of length L) where the two
lifting slings should be placed so that the maximum absolute value of the moment is as
small as possible. Assume the beams are straight with uniform weight distribution, and
the cables attached to the slings are vertical. Hint: The optimal value of d will give the
same absolute value of the moment at the slings as at the midpoint of the beam.
Solution
Let the beam have total weight W . If the weight is uniformly distributed, then the cable tensions are each
W=2, and the uniformly distributed loading is w
0
D W=L. Hence, the FBD of the beam is

Problem 9.83
The device shown allows for easy elevation adjustments of block A on the xed ramp
E. When the user applies a sufcient upward vertical force to the cable at C, block A
is lowered. When the user applies a sufcient downward vertical force to the cable at
C, block A is raised. The coefcients of static and kinetic friction between block A
and the ramp, and between the cable and cylindrical surface at B, are 0.1. Block A has
40 N weight, the cable has negligible weight, cable segment AB is parallel to the ramp,
segment BCD is vertical, and assume block A does not tip. Determine the weight W
D
of the counterweight at D so that the value of the upward force the user must apply
to cause motion is the same as the value of the downward force the user must apply
to cause motion. Also, determine the value of the force the user must apply to cause
motion.
Solution
We consider two slipping scenarios.
Lowering of block A: In the FBDs shown at the right, the direction of friction force
F opposes lowering of block A, and the force P applied by the user at point C is
upward.
