The document contains 4 problems about determining tensions, reactions and forces in systems involving pulleys, cables, and frames. Problem 1 asks for the tension in a rope supporting a bar and disk. Problem 2 determines the maximum weight a cable can support given its breaking strength. Problem 3 finds the reaction and tension in a 3-member frame. Problem 4 calculates the force needed to support a weight with pulleys and the cord reactions.

1.

The bar ABC of negligible weight is supported by a pin at A and a rope that runs around the
small pulley at D and the 10-kg homogeneous disk. Determine the tension in the rope.

2.42
2. The breaking strength of the cable FG that supports the portable camping stool is 400 lb.
Determine the maximum weight W that can be supported. Neglect friction and the weights of the
members. 177.78 lb

3. The three-member frame is connected at its ends using ball-and-socket joints. Determine the x,
y, z components of reaction at B and the tension in member ED. The force acting at D is F = {135i
+ 200j - 180k} lb. tension = 270 vector B = [-30i-13.3j]
4. Determine the force needed to support the 100-lb weight. Each pulley has a weight of 10 lb.
Also, what are the cord reactions at A and B? 25 lb
