PROBLEM 1

The crate weighing 2000N is supported by three ropes concurrent

at B. Find
A. the forces in ropes AB and BC if P =2300 N.
B. the smallest value of P for which the crate will be in equilibrium
in the position shown. (Hint: A rope can only support a tensile
force.)
note: all answers must be in kN

PROBLEM 2

A 20-m vertical pole AB is acted upon

by the forces shown in the figure. Both
cables BD and BC lie in the vertical y-z
plane; BC being parallel to y-axis.
Another long cable, BF (25m), is
available. Find:
A. the coordinates of F on the xy
plane, to which the cable should be
attached to maintain equilibrium.
B. The magnitude (in Kn) of the
forces in the cable and in the pole.
