Lecture 16

Here are the steps to solve this problem: 1. Draw a free body diagram of the beam showing all external forces and reactions. 2. Write the scalar equations of equilibrium: ΣFx = 0 ΣFy = 0 ΣMz = 0 (take moment about point C) 3. Solve the equations simultaneously to determine the unknown reactions and forces. 4. The x-component of the reaction at C (Cx) and the force in the cable (T) can be determined from the ΣFx = 0 and ΣFy = 0 equations. 5. The z-component of the reaction at C (Cz) can be determined from the Σ

Example
Bar AC rests against a smooth surface at end C and is supported at end A
with a ball-and-socket joint. The cable at B is attached midway between
the ends of the bar. Determine the reactions at supports A and C and the
tension in the cable at B.

CONCEPT QUIZ (continued)
2. If an additional couple moment in the
vertical direction is applied to rod AB
at point C, then what will happen to the
rod?
A) The rod remains in equilibrium as the
cables provide the necessary support
reactions.
B) The rod remains in equilibrium as the
ball-and-socket joint will provide the
necessary resistive reactions.
C) The rod becomes unstable as the cables
cannot support compressive forces.
D) The rod becomes unstable since a
moment about AB cannot be
restricted.
ATTENTION QUIZ

2. What will be the easiest way to determine the force


reaction BZ ?
A) Scalar equation  FZ = 0
B) Vector equation  MA = 0
C) Scalar equation  MZ = 0
D) Scalar equation  MY = 0
Class assignment:
Beam CD of the figure is supported at the left end C by a smooth pin
and bracket and at the right end D by a continuous cable that passes
around a frictionless pulley. The lines of action of the force in the cable
pass through point D. Determine the components of the reaction at
support C and the force in the cable when a 5-kN load W is being
supported by the beam.
