Question 1 (1.14) The bracket ABC is free to swing out horizontally on the vertical rod.
Estimate the forces transmitted to the vertical road at A and B when a 900-N load is supported
at C. Show magnitudes and directions on a clear sketch.

Question 2 (1.41) The mast AD is acted upon by a 1.6 kN force and supported by cables CE
and DF as shown. Find the reactions exerted on the mast by the frictionless ball-and -socket
joint at A and also the tensions in the cables CE and DF.
Question 3 (1.31) Determine the forces in the six members of the truss shown.

Question 4 (1.38) Determine the forces exerted on each side of a bicycle chain link by the
bolt cutters shown in the Figure if the handles are subjected to a force 320 N.
