1. Determine the magnitudes of F1 and F2 so that particle P is in 4. The unstretched length of spring AB is 2 m. If the block is held in
equilibrium. (435 N, 171 N) the equilibrium position shown below, determine the mass of the
block at D. (12.8 kg)
2. Determine the magnitude and angle θ of F so that the particle is in 5. The spring ABC has a stiffness of 500 N/m and an unstretched
equilibrium. (11.0 kN, 49.8°) length of 6 m. Determine the horizontal force F applied to the cord
which is attached to the small pulley B so that the displacement of
the pulley from the wall is d = 1.5 m. (158 N)
3. The 500 N (≈ 50 kg) crate is hoisted using ropes AB and AC. Each 6. The ball D has a mass of 20 kg. If a force of F = 100 N is applied
rope can withstand a maximum tension of 2500 N before it breaks. horizontally to the ring at A, determine the largest dimension d so
If AB always remains horizontal, determine the smallest angle θ to that the force in cable AC is zero. (2.42 m)
which the crate can be hoisted. (11.5°)
