TUTORIAL No. 4

Problem 1.
(a) The cable exerts a tension of 2 kN on the
fixed bracket at A. Write the vector expression
for the tension T.
Ans. T = 2(– 0.920i + 0.383j + 0.077k) kN

(b) The tension in the supporting cable AB is


10 kN. Express this tension as a force vector
T acting on BC.

𝐴𝑛𝑠. 𝑻 = (8𝒊 − 15𝒋 + 10𝒌) 𝑘𝑁
√389

(a) (b)
Problem 2.

(a) Derive the expression for the


component FDC of the force F along the
line directed from D to C.

(𝑏 2 − 𝑎2 ) ∙ 𝐹
𝐴𝑛𝑠. 𝑭𝑫𝑪 =
√(𝑎 2 + 𝑏 2 ) ∙ √(𝑎2 + 𝑏 2 + 𝑐 2 )

(b) The force F has a magnitude of 2 kN


and is directed from A to B. Calculate the
component FCD of F along CD
(a) 𝐴𝑛𝑠. 𝐹𝐶𝐷 = √6⁄5 𝑘𝑁 (b)
Problem 3.
(a) The turnbuckle is tightened until the tension in the cable AB equals 1.2 kN. Write the
vector expression for the tension T as a force acting on the lever.

(b) As presented above that the cable AB exerts a force of 1.2 kN on the lever in the direction
from A to B. Calculate the magnitude of the moment of this force about point O.

Ans. T = 0.457(0.8i + 1.5j – 2k) , Mo = 2.81 kN.m

Problem 4.
(a) Determine the moment of the force P about point
A.
Ans. MA = (Pb/5)(– 3i + 4j – 7k)

(b) A steel H-beam acts as a column and supports the


two vertical loads shown. Replace these forces by a
single equivalent force along the vertical centerline of
the column and a couple M.

Ans. M = (– 60i + 40j)103 N.m
