1. A uniform bar AB weighing 120 grams is hinged at A 2. A uniform rod AB is resting on two inclined
to a vertical wall and held in horizontal position by a smooth planes as shown. Determine the angle
cable BC as shown. Determine tension in cable BC. 𝜃 for equilibrium.

3. A uniform pole of length 15 m and weight 100 Kg is 4. Show that the force P required to begin rolling
supported by its smooth ends against a vertical wall a uniform cylinder of mass m over the
and by the tension T in a vertical cable. Determine obstruction of height h is given by
the reaction at the ends of the pole and tension of
the cable, T.

5. The uniform beam has a mass of 50 kg per meter of 6. Determine the horizontal and vertical
length. Determine the reactions at the supports. components of reaction at the pin A, and the
reaction on the beam at C.
7. The welded tubular frame is secured to the 8. The light right-angle boom which supports the
horizontal x-y plane by a ball and-socket joint at 400kg cylinder is supported by three cables and a
A and receives support from the loose-fitting ring ball and-socket joint at O attached to the vertical
at B. Under the action of the 2-kN load, rotation x-y surface. Determine the reactions at O and the
about a line from A to B is prevented by the cable cable tensions.
CD, and the frame is stable in the position shown.
Neglect the weight of the frame compared with
the applied load and determine the tension T in
the cable, the reaction at the ring, and the
reaction components at A.

9. The square steel plate has a mass of 1800 kg with 10. Determine the magnitude T of the tension in the
mass center at its center G. Calculate the tension supporting cable and the magnitude of the force
in each of the three cables with which the plate is on the pin at A for the jib crane shown. The
lifted while remaining horizontal. beam AB is a standard 0.5-m I-beam with a mass
of 95 kg per meter of length.
