PROBLEM 4.53
A slender rod AB, of weight W, is attached to blocks A and B,
which move freely in the guides shown, The blocks are connected
by an elastic cord that passes over a pulley at C. (a) Express the
tension in the cord in terms of Wand @. (b) Determine the value of
€@ for which the tension in the cord is equal to 30.
PROBLEM 4.59
Eight identical 500X750-mm rectangular plates, each of mass m=40 kg, are held in a vertical plane as
shown. All connections consist of frictionless pins, rollers, or short Links. In each case, determine whether
(a) the plate is completely, partially, or improperly constrained, (b) the reactions are statically determinate or
indeterminate, (e) the equilibrium of the plate is maintained in the position shown. Also, wherever possible,
compute the reactions
PROBLEM 4.60
‘The bracket ABC can be supported in the cight different ways shown. All connections consist of smooth pins,
rollers, or short links. For each case, answer the questions listed in Problem 4.59, and, wherever possible,
‘compute the reactions, assuming that the magnitude of the force P is 100 N.

Ee ba &;PROBLEM 4.112
A 3-KN crate hangs from a cable that passes over a
pulley 2 and is attached to a support at H. The |-kN
boom 4B is supported by a ball-and-socket joint at A
and by two cables DE and DF. The center of gravity
of the boom is located at G. Determine (a) the tension
in cables DE and DF, (b) the reaction at A.

PROBLEM 4.113
A 100-kg uniform rectangular plate is supported in the position
shown by hinges A and B and by cable DCE that passes over a
frictionless hook at C. Assuming that the tension is the same in
both parts of the cable, determine (a) the tension in the cable,
() the reactions at A and B. Assume that the hinge at B does
‘not exert any axial thrust.
PROBLEM 4.118
‘The bent rod ABEF is supported by bearings at C and D and by wire
AH. Knowing that portion AB of the rod is 250 mm long, determine
(a) the tension in wire AH, (b) the reactions at C and D. Assume that
the bearing at D does not exert any axial thrust.PROBLEM 4.128
‘The uniform 10-kg rod AB is supported by a ball-and-socket joint at
A.and by the cord CG that is attached (o the midpoint G of the rod.
Knowing that the rod leans against a frictionless vertical wall at B,
determine (a) the tension in the cord, (b) the reactions at A and B.
