The single elastic cord ABC is used to support the 40-lb
load. Determine the position x and the tension in the cord
that is required for equilibrium. The cord passes through
the smooth ring at B and has an unstretched length of 6 ft
and stiffness of k = 50 lb>ft.

SOLUTION
Equations of Equilibrium: Since elastic cord ABC passes over the smooth ring at B,
the tension in the cord is constant throughout its entire length. Applying the equation
of equilibrium along the y axis to the free-body diagram in Fig. a, we have
(1)
Geometry: Referring to Fig. (b), the stretched length of cord ABC is
(2)
Also,
(3)
Spring Force Formula: Applying the spring force formula using Eq. (2), we obtain
(4)
Substituting Eq. (4) into Eq. (1) yields
Solving the above equation by trial and error
Substituting into Eqs. (1) and (3) yields
Ans. x = 1.92 ft T = 30.6 lb

The 200-lb uniform tank is suspended by means of a 6-ft-
long cable, which is attached to the sides of the tank and
passes over the small pulley located at O. If the cable can be
attached at either points A and B, or C and D, determine
which attachment produces the least amount of tension in
the cable. What is this tension?
SOLUTION
Free-Body Diagram: By observation, the force F has to support the entire weight
of the tank. Thus, F = 200 lb. The tension in cable AOB or COD is the same
throughout the cable.
Equations of Equilibrium:
(1)
From the function obtained above, one realizes that in order to produce the least
amount of tension in the cable, hence must be as great as possible. Since the
attachment of the cable to point Cand Dproduces a greater
as compared to the attachment of the cable to points Aand ,
the attachment of the cable to point C and D will produce the least amount
of tension in the cable. Ans.
Thus,
