3- For the beam and loading shown, determine the range of 4- The bracket BCD is hinged at C and attached to a
the distance a for which the reaction at B does not exceed control cable at B. For the loading shown, determine (a)
100 lb downward or 200 lb upward.
the tension in the cable, (b) the reaction at C.

5- A rod AB, hinged at A and attached at B to cable BD, 6- Neglecting friction, determine the tension in cable
supports the loads shown. Knowing that d 5 200 mm, ABD and thereaction at support C.

7- Determine the tension in each cable and the reaction at D.

8- Beam AD carries the two 40-lb loads shown. The

beam is held by a fixed support at D and by the cable
BE that is attached to the counterweight W. Determine
the reaction at D when (a) W = 100 lb, (b) W = 90 lb.

9- Knowing that the tension in wire BD is 1300 N, 10- A 50-kg crate is attached to the trolley-beam
determine the reaction at the fixed support C of the frame system shown. Knowing that a =1.5 m, determine (a)

the tension in cable CD, (b) the reaction at B.

11- Member ABC is supported by a pin and bracket at B and

by an inextensible cord attached at A and C and passing
over a frictionless pulley at D. The tension may be assumed
to be the same in portions AD and CD of the cord. For the
loading shown and neglecting the size of the pulley,
determine the tension in the cord and the reaction at B.

12- Rod AB is supported by a pin and bracket at A and

rests against a frictionless peg at C. Determine the
reactions at A and C when a 170-N vertical force is
applied at B.

13- The rectangular plate shown weighs 80 lb and is 14- A 10-ft boom is acted upon by the 840-lb force
supported by three vertical wires. Determine the tension shown. Determine the tension in each cable and the
in each wire.
reaction at the ball-and-socket joint at A.

15- The bent rod ABDE is supported by ball-and-socket 16- Two tape spools are attached to an axle supported by
joints at A and E and by the cable DF. If a 60-lb load is bearings at A and D. The radius of spool B is 30 mm and
applied at C as shown, determine the tension in the cable. the radius of spool C is 40 mm. Knowing that TB 5 80 N
and that the system rotates at a constant rate, determine
the reactions at A and D. Assume that the bearing at A
does not exert any axial thrust and neglect the weights of
the spools and axle.
