three forces shown, act on the bridge truss joint.
3. Determine the equivalent concentrated load(s) and external reactions for the
simply supported beam which is subjected to the distributed load shown.

4. Determine the magnitude and direction of the friction force acting on the 100-
kg block shown if, first, P = 500 N and, second, P = 100 N. The coefficient of
static friction is 0.20, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.17. The forces

9. A lamp weighing 5 N is suspended from ceiling by a chain. It is pulled aside
by a horizontal cord until the chain makes an angle of 600 with the ceiling as
shown in the figure. Find the tension in the chain and the cord by applying
Lami’s theorem.
