Problem 1
Knowing that each pulley has a radius of 250mm, determine the components of reactions at D and E.

Problem 2 ( !10"
The shear shown is used to cut and trim electronic#circuit board laminates. $or the position shown, determine (a" the %ertical component of force e&erted on the shearing blade at D, and (b" the reaction at C. 't is gi%en that P = (00 ).

,n ad-ustable tow bar connecting the tractor unit H with the landing gear J of a large aircraft is shown in the figure. ,d-usting the height of the hoo. F at the end of the tow bar is accomplished by the hydraulic cylinder CD is acti%ated by a small hand#pump (not shown". $or the nominal position shown of the triangular lin.age ABC, calculate the force P supplied by the cylinder to the pin C to position the tow bar. The rig has a total weight of 220.g and is supported by the tractor hitch E.

Problem ( (+K2"

The figure shows a special rig for erecting %ertical sections of a construction tower. The assembly , has a mass of 1.5+g and is ele%ated by the platform which itself has a mass of 2+g. The platform is guided up the fi&ed %ertical columns by rollers and is acti%ated by the hydraulic cylinder CD and lin.s EDF and FH. $or the particular position shown calculate the force R e&erted by the hydraulic cylinder at D. )eglect mass of cylinder and lin.s.

, hydraulic#lift table is used to raise a 1000 .g crate. 't consists of two identical lin.ages on which hydraulic cylinders e&ert e1ual forces. +embers EDB and CG are each of length 2a, and member AD is pinned to the midpoint of EDB. 'f the crate is placed on the table, so that half of its weight is supported by the system shown, determine the force e&erted by each cylinder in raising the crate for 2 3 40 deg, a 3 0.50m, and 6 3 *.20m. 0how that the result obtained is independent of distance

The ele%ation of a platform is controlled by two identical mechanisms only one of which is shown. , load of 5 .) is applied to the mechanism shown. Knowing that the pin at C can transmit only a hori7ontal force, determine (a" the force in lin. BE, (b) the components of the force exerte b! the hydraulic cylinder on pin H"
