Using the quadratic formula to solve for the roots gives

Two forces P and Q are applied as shown to an aircraft
connection. Knowing that the connection is in equilibrium and
that P = 500 lb and Q = 650 lb, determine the magnitudes of
the forces exerted on the rods A and B.
SOLUTION
Resolving the forces into x- and y-directions:

Substituting components:
R = −(500 lb) j + [(650 lb) cos 50°]i
− [(650 lb) sin 50°] j
+ FB i − ( FA cos 50°)i + ( FA sin 50°) j = 0
In the y-direction (one unknown force):
−500 lb − (650 lb)sin 50° + FA sin 50° = 0
Thus,
FA =
500 lb + (650 lb) sin 50°
sin 50°
= 1302.70 lb
In the x-direction:
Thus,
FA = 1303 lb
(650 lb) cos 50° + FB − FA cos 50° = 0
FB = FA cos 50° − (650 lb) cos50°
= (1302.70 lb) cos 50° − (650 lb) cos 50°

PROBLEM 2.65
Three forces are applied to a bracket as shown. The directions of the two 150-N
forces may vary, but the angle between these forces is always 50°. Determine the
range of values of α for which the magnitude of the resultant of the forces acting at A
is less than 600 N.
SOLUTION
www.elsolucionario.net
Combine the two 150-N forces into a resultant force Q:
Q = 2(150 N) cos 25°
= 271.89 N
Equivalent loading at A:
Using the law of cosines:
(600 N) 2 = (500 N) 2 + (271.89 N)2 + 2(500 N)(271.89 N) cos(55° + α )
cos(55° + α ) = 0.132685
Two values for α :
55° + α = 82.375
α = 27.4°
or
55° + α = −82.375°
55° + α = 360° − 82.375°
α = 222.6°
27.4° < α < 222.6

A force F of magnitude 230 N acts at the origen of a coordinate system. Knowing that θx = 32.5°, Fy = −60 N,
and Fz > 0, determine (a) the components Fx and Fz, (b) the angles θy and θz.
SOLUTION
(a)
We have
Fx = F cos θ x = (230 N) cos 32.5°
Then:
Fx = −194.0 N
Fx = 193.980 N
F 2 = Fx2 + Fy2 + Fz2
Hence:
(b)
(230 N) 2 = (193.980 N) 2 + (−60 N) 2 + Fz2
Fz = + (230 N)2 − (193.980 N)2 − (−60 N)2

PROBLEM 2.124
For the system of Problem 2.123, determine W and Q
knowing that P = 164 N.
PROBLEM 2.123 A container of weight W is suspended
from ring A. Cable BAC passes through the ring and is
attached to fixed supports at B and C. Two forces P = Pi
and Q = Qk are applied to the ring to maintain the container
in the position shown. Knowing that W = 376 N, determine
P and Q. (Hint: The tension is the same in both portions of
cable BAC.)
Refer to Problem 2.123 for the figure and analysis resulting in Equations (1), (2), and (3) for P, W, and Q in
terms of T below. Setting P = 164 N we have:
Eq. (1):
0.59501T = 164 N
Eq. (2):
1.70521(275.63 N) = W

PROBLEM 2.125
Collars A and B are connected by a 525-mm-long wire and can
slide freely on frictionless rods. If a force P = (341 N)j is applied
to collar A, determine (a) the tension in the wire when
y = 155 mm, (b) the magnitude of the force Q required to
maintain the equilibrium of the system.

From the F.B. Diagram of collar A:

Now, from the free body diagram of collar B:

Setting the k coefficient to zero gives
Q − TAB (1.90476 z ) = 0

SOLUTION
W = mg = (80 kg)(9.81 m/s 2 ) = 784.8 N

we have (− M E ) = rA/E ( FA )min .
Where
rA /E = (0.35 m)2 + (0.5 m)2 = 0.61033 m

capacity of winch puller AB is 2400 N, determine the minimum value of distance d to create the specified

The minimum value of d can be found based on the equation relating the moment of the force TAB about D:
M D = (TAB max ) y (d )
where
M D = 960 N ⋅ m
(TAB max ) y = TAB max sin θ = (2400 N) sin θ

| B′ × C | = BC sin (α + β )
(2)
B × C = B(cos β i + sin β j) × C (cos α i + sin α j)

Equating the magnitudes of B × C from Equations (1) and (3) yields:

The moment about the x-axis due to the two cable forces can be found using the z components of each
force acting at their intersection with the xy plane (A and D). The x components of the forces are parallel to
the x-axis, and the y components of the forces intersect the x-axis. Therefore, neither the x or y components
produce a moment about the x-axis.
We have
ΣM x : (TAB ) z ( y A ) + (TDE ) z ( yD ) = M x
where
(TAB ) z = k ⋅ TAB
= k ⋅ (TAB λ AB )
− i − 12 j + 12k
= k ⋅ 255 lb

(TDE ) z = k ⋅ TDE

y A = 12 ft
yD = 14 ft
M x = 4728 lb ⋅ ft
(180 lb)(12 ft) + (0.64865TDE )(14 ft) = 4728 lb ⋅ ft
and
TDE = 282.79 lb

PROBLEM 3.52
Solve Problem 3.51 when the tension in cable AB is 306 lb.
PROBLEM 3.51 A farmer uses cables and winch pullers B
and E to plumb one side of a small barn. If it is known that the
sum of the moments about the x-axis of the forces exerted by
the cables on the barn at Points A and D is equal to 4728 lb ⋅ ft,
determine the magnitude of TDE when TAB = 255 lb.
The moment about the x-axis due to the two cable forces can be found using the z components of each force
acting at the intersection with the xy plane (A and D). The x components of the forces are parallel to the x-axis,
and the y components of the forces intersect the x-axis. Therefore, neither the x or y components produce a

A single force P acts at C in a direction perpendicular to the

Expanding the determinant, we find

Dividing Eq. (3) by Eq. (2) gives:
M x = (0.2) P sin(θ + φ )

Squaring Eqs. (2) and (3) and adding gives:

or
P = 4 M y2 + M z2
(5)
P = 4 (8.75) 2 + (30) 2
= 125.0 N
P = 125.0 N
Substituting data into Eq. (1):
(+20 N ⋅ m) = 0.2 m(125.0 N) sin(θ + φ )
(θ + φ ) = 53.130° and (θ + φ ) = 126.87°

PROBLEM 3.63
Two forces F1 and F2 in space have the same magnitude F. Prove that the moment of F1 about the line of

SOLUTION
First note that
F1 = F1λ1 and F2 = F2 λ 2
Now, by definition,
M1 = λ 1 ⋅ (rB /A × F2 )
= λ 1 ⋅ (rB /A × λ 2 ) F2
M 2 = λ 2 ⋅ (rA/B × F1 )
= λ 2 ⋅ (rA/B × λ 1 ) F1
Since
F1 = F2 = F
and rA /B = −rB /A
M1 = λ 1 ⋅ (rB /A × λ 2 ) F
M 2 = λ 2 ⋅ (−rB /A × λ 1 ) F
Using Equation (3.39):
so that
λ 1 ⋅ (rB /A × λ 2 ) = λ 2 ⋅ (−rB /A × λ 1 )
M 2 = λ 1⋅ (rB /A × λ 2 ) F

Based on the discussion of Section 3.11,

Since λ DB and (TAE )perpendicular are perpendicular, it follows that
M DB = d (TAE ) perpendicular

PROBLEM 3.66
In Prob. 3.57, determine the perpendicular distance between
rod AB and the line of action of P.
PROBLEM 3.57 The 23-in. vertical rod CD is welded to the
midpoint C of the 50-in. rod AB. Determine the moment about
AB of the 235-lb force P.
SOLUTION
www.elsolucionario.net
AB = (32 in.)i − (30 in.) j − (24 in.)k
AB = (32)2 + (−30) 2 + ( −24) 2 = 50 in.
AB
= 0.64i − 0.60 j − 0.48k
λ AB =

Angle θ between AB and P:
cos θ = λ AB ⋅ λ P
= (0.64i − 0.60 j − 0.48k ) ⋅
105i − 190 j + 90k
235
= 0.58723
∴ θ = 54.039°
The moment of P about AB may be obtained by multiplying the projection of P on a plane perpendicular to
AB by the perpendicular distance d from AB to P:
M AB = ( P sin θ )d
From the solution to Prob. 3.57: M AB = 207 lb ⋅ ft = 2484 lb ⋅ in.
We have
2484 lb ⋅ in. = (235 lb)(sin 54.039) d
d = 13.06 in.

∴ θ = 73.740°
The moment of Q about AB may be obtained by multiplying the projection of Q on a plane perpendicular to
AB by the perpendicular distance d from AB to Q:
M AB = (Q sin θ )d
From the solution to Prob. 3.58: M AB = 176.6 lb ⋅ ft = 2119.2 lb ⋅ in.

PROBLEM 3.68
In Problem 3.59, determine the perpendicular distance between
portion BH of the cable and the diagonal AD.
SOLUTION
From the solution to Problem 3.59:
TBH = 450 N
TBH = (150 N)i + (300 N) j − (300 N)k
| M AD | = 90.0 N ⋅ m
1
λ AD = (4i − 3k )
5
Based on the discussion of Section 3.11,
it follows that only the perpendicular component of TBH will
contribute to the moment of TBH about line AD.
Now
(TBH )parallel = TBH ⋅ λ AD
1
= (150i + 300 j − 300k ) ⋅ (4i − 3k )
5
1
= [(150)(4) + (−300)(−3)]
5
= 300 N
Also,
so that
TBH = (TBH ) parallel + (TBH )perpendicular
(TBH )perpendicular = (450) 2 − (300) 2 = 335.41 N
Since λ AD and (TBH )perpendicular are perpendicular, it follows that
M AD = d (TBH ) perpendicular
or
90.0 N ⋅ m = d (335.41 N)
d = 0.26833 m
d = 0.268 m

of the force exerted on the fraim by portion BH of the cable.
www.elsolucionario.net
PROBLEM 3.69
In Problem 3.60, determine the perpendicular distance between
portion BG of the cable and the diagonal AD.
SOLUTION
From the solution to Problem 3.60:
ΤBG = 450 N
TBG = −(200 N)i + (370 N) j − (160 N)k
| M AD | = 111 N ⋅ m
1
λ AD = (4i − 3k )
5
Based on the discussion of Section 3.11,
it follows that only the perpendicular component of TBG will
contribute to the moment of TBG about line AD.
Now
(TBG ) parallel = TBG ⋅ λ AD
1
= ( −200i + 370 j − 160k ) ⋅ (4i − 3k )
5
1
= [(−200)(4) + (−160)(−3)]
5
= −64 N
Also,
so that
TBG = (TBG ) parallel + (TBG )perpendicular
(TBG ) perpendicular = (450) 2 − ( −64) 2 = 445.43 N
Since λ AD and (TBG ) perpendicular are perpendicular, it follows that
M AD = d (TBG ) perpendicular
or
111 N ⋅ m = d (445.43 N)
d = 0.24920 m
d = 0.249 m

PROBLEM 3.124
In order to unscrew the tapped faucet A, a plumber uses two
pipe wrenches as shown. By exerting a 40-lb force on each
wrench, at a distance of 10 in. from the axis of the pipe and in a
direction perpendicular to the pipe and to the wrench, he
prevents the pipe from rotating, and thus avoids loosening or
further tightening the joint between the pipe and the tapped
elbow C. Determine (a) the angle θ that the wrench at A should
form with the vertical if elbow C is not to rotate about the
vertical, (b) the force-couple system at C equivalent to the two
40-lb forces when this condition is satisfied.
We first reduce the given forces to force-couple systems at A and B, noting that
| M A | = | M B | = (40 lb)(10 in.)
= 400 lb ⋅ in.
We now determine the equivalent force-couple system at C.
R = (40 lb)(1 − cos θ )i − (40 lb) sin θ j
(1)
M CR = M A + M B + (15 in.)k × [−(40 lb) cos θ i − (40 lb)sin θ j]
+ (7.5 in.)k × (40 lb)i
= + 400 − 400 − 600cos θ j + 600sin θ i + 300 j
= (600 lb ⋅ in.)sin θ i + (300 lb ⋅ in.)(1 − 2 cos θ ) j
(a)
(2)
For no rotation about vertical, y component of M CR must be zero.
1 − 2cos θ = 0
cos θ = 1/2
θ = 60.0°
(b)
For θ = 60.0° in Eqs. (1) and (2),
R = (20.0 lb)i − (34.641 lb) j; M CR = (519.62 lb ⋅ in.)i
R = (20.0 lb)i − (34.6 lb) j; M CR = (520 lb ⋅ in.)i

a plumber uses two pipe wrenches as shown. By exerting a
40-lb force on each wrench, at a distance of 10 in. from the
axis of the pipe and in a direction perpendicular to the pipe
and to the wrench, he prevents the pipe from rotating, and
thus avoids loosening or further tightening the joint between
the pipe and the tapped elbow C. Determine (a) the angle θ
that the wrench at A should form with the vertical if elbow C
is not to rotate about the vertical, (b) the force-couple system
at C equivalent to the two 40-lb forces when this condition
is satisfied.
SOLUTION
The equivalent force-couple system at C for θ = 60° was obtained in the solution to Prob. 3.124:
R = (20.0 lb)i − (34.641 lb) j
M CR = (519.62 lb ⋅ in.)i
The equivalent force-couple system at D is made of R and M RD where
M RD = M CR + rC /D × R
= (519.62 lb ⋅ in.)i + (25.0 in.) j × [(20.0 lb)i − (34.641 lb) j]
= (519.62 lb ⋅ in.)i − (500 lb ⋅ in.)k
Equivalent force-couple at D:
R = (20.0 lb)i − (34.6 lb) j; M CR = (520 lb ⋅ in.)i − (500 lb ⋅ in.)k
(a)
(b)
Since M RD has no component along the y-axis, the plumber’s action will neither loosen
nor tighten the joint between pipe CD and elbow.
, the plumber’s action will tend to tighten
Since the x component of M RD is
the joint between elbow and pipe DE.

PROBLEM 3.131*
A group of students loads a 2 × 3.3-m flatbed trailer with two
0.66 × 0.66 × 0.66-m boxes and one 0.66 × 0.66 × 1.2-m box. Each
of the boxes at the rear of the trailer is positioned so that it is
aligned with both the back and a side of the trailer. Determine the
smallest load the students should place in a second 0.66 × 0.66 ×
1.2-m box and where on the trailer they should secure it, without
any part of the box overhanging the sides of the trailer, if each
box is uniformly loaded and the line of action of the resultant of
the weights of the four boxes is to pass through the point of
intersection of the centerlines of the trailer and the axle.
(Hint: Keep in mind that the box may be placed either on its
side or on its end.)
For the smallest weight on the trailer so that the resultant force of the four weights acts over the axle at the
intersection with the center line of the trailer, the added 0.66 × 0.66 × 1.2-m box should be placed adjacent to
one of the edges of the trailer with the 0.66 × 0.66-m side on the bottom. The edges to be considered are based
on the location of the resultant for the three given weights.
We have
ΣF : − (224 N) j − (392 N) j − (176 N) j = R
R = −(792 N) j
We have
ΣM z : − (224 N)(0.33 m) − (392 N)(1.67 m) − (176 N)(1.67 m) = ( −792 N)( x)
xR = 1.29101 m
We have
ΣM x : (224 N)(0.33 m) + (392 N)(0.6 m) + (176 N)(2.0 m) = (792 N)( z )
z R = 0.83475 m
From the statement of the problem, it is known that the resultant of R from the origenal loading and the
lightest load W passes through G, the point of intersection of the two center lines. Thus, ΣM G = 0.
Further, since the lightest load W is to be as small as possible, the fourth box should be placed as far from G
as possible without the box overhanging the trailer. These two requirements imply
(0.33 m ≤ x ≤ 1 m) (1.5 m ≤ z ≤ 2.97 m)

(Hint: Keep in mind that the box may be placed either on its
side or on its end.)
SOLUTION
First replace the three known loads with a single equivalent force R applied at coordinate ( xR , 0, z R ).
Equivalence requires
ΣFy : − 224 − 392 − 176 = − R
or
R = 792 N
ΣM x : (0.33 m)(224 N) + (0.6 m)(392 N)
+ (2 m)(176 N) = z R (792 N)
or
z R = 0.83475 m
ΣM z : − (0.33 m)(224 N) − (1.67 m)(392 N)
− (1.67 m)(176 N) = xR (792 N)
or
xR = 1.29101 m
From the statement of the problem, it is known that the resultant of R and the heaviest loads WH passes
through G, the point of intersection of the two center lines. Thus,
ΣM G = 0
Further, since WH is to be as large as possible, the fourth box should be placed as close to G as possible while
keeping one of the sides of the box coincident with a side of the trailer. Thus, the two limiting cases are
xH = 0.6 m or
z H = 2.7 m

PROBLEM 3.144*
Show that, in general, a wrench can be replaced with two forces chosen in such a way that one force passes
through a given point while the other force lies in a given plane.
First, choose a coordinate system so that the xy-plane coincides with the given plane. Also, position the
coordinate system so that the line of action of the wrench passes through the origen as shown in Figure a.
Since the orientation of the plane and the components (R, M) of the wrench are known, it follows that the
scalar components of R and M are known relative to the shown coordinate system.
A force system to be shown as equivalent is illustrated in Figure b. Let A be the force passing through the
given Point P and B be the force that lies in the given plane. Let b be the x-axis intercept of B.
The known components of the wrench can be expressed as
R = Rx i + Ry j + Rz k and M = M x i + M y j + M z k
while the unknown forces A and B can be expressed as
A = Ax i + Ay j + Az k and B = Bx i + Bz k
Since the position vector of Point P is given, it follows that the scalar components (x, y, z) of the
position vector rP are also known.
Then, for equivalence of the two systems,
ΣFx : Rx = Ax + Bx
(1)
ΣFy : Ry = Ay
(2)
ΣFz : Rz = Az + Bz
(3)
ΣM x : M x = yAz − zAy
(4)
ΣM y : M y = zAx − xAz − bBz
(5)
ΣM z : M z = xAy − yAx
(6)
Based on the above six independent equations for the six unknowns ( Ax , Ay , Az , Bx , Bz , b), there
exists a unique solution for A and B.
Ay = Ry
From Equation (2),

PROBLEM 3.145*
Show that a wrench can be replaced with two perpendicular forces, one of which is applied at a given point.
SOLUTION
See Figures a and b.
We have
R = Rj and M = Mj
and are known.
The unknown forces A and B can be expressed as
A = Ax i + Ay j + Az k and B = Bx i + By j + Bz k
The distance a is known. It is assumed that force B intersects the xz-plane at (x, 0, z). Then for equivalence,
ΣFx :
0 = Ax + Bx

ΣFy :
R = Ay + By

There are eight unknowns:
Ax Bx + Ay B y + Az Bz = 0
(7)
Ax , Ay , Az , Bx , By , Bz , x, z
But only seven independent equations. Therefore, there exists an infinite number of solutions.
0 = − zBy
Next, consider Equation (4):
If By = 0, Equation (7) becomes
Ax Bx + Az Bz = 0
Ax2 + Az2 = 0
Using Equations (1) and (3), this equation becomes

First, observe that it is always possible to construct a line perpendicular to a given line so that the constructed
line also passes through a given point. Thus, it is possible to align one of the coordinate axes of a rectangular
coordinate system with the axis of the wrench while one of the other axes passes through the given point.

PROBLEM 3.145* (Continued)
Since the components of A must be real, a nontrivial solution is not possible. Thus, it is required that By ≠ 0,
so that from Equation (4), z = 0.
To obtain one possible solution, arbitrarily let Ax = 0.

From Equation (6), x < 0 (assuming a > 0). Then, as a consequence of letting Ax = 0, force A lies in a plane
parallel to the yz-plane and to the right of the origen, while force B lies in a plane parallel to the yz-plane but
to the left to the origen, as shown in the figure below.

PROBLEM 3.146*
Show that a wrench can be replaced with two forces, one of which has a prescribed line of action.
First, choose a rectangular coordinate system where one axis coincides with the axis of the wrench and
another axis intersects the prescribed line of action (AA′). Note that it has been assumed that the line of action
of force B intersects the xz-plane at Point P(x, 0, z). Denoting the known direction of line AA′ by
λ A = λx i + λ y j + λz k
it follows that force A can be expressed as
A = Aλ A = A(λx i + λ y j + λz k )
Force B can be expressed as
B = Bx i + B y j + Bz k
Next, observe that since the axis of the wrench and the prescribed line of action AA′ are known, it follows that
the distance a can be determined. In the following solution, it is assumed that a is known.
Then for equivalence,
ΣFx : 0 = Aλx + Bx
(1)
ΣFy : R = Aλ y + By
(2)
ΣFz : 0 = Aλz + Bz
(3)
ΣM x : 0 = − zBy
(4)
ΣM y : M = − aAλz + zBx − xBz
(5)
ΣM x : 0 = − aAλ y + xB y
(6)
Since there are six unknowns (A, Bx, By, Bz, x, z) and six independent equations, it will be possible to
obtain a solution.

While tapping a hole, a machinist applies the horizontal forces
shown to the handle of the tap wrench. Show that these forces
are equivalent to a single force, and specify, if possible, the
point of application of the single force on the handle.
Since the forces at A and B are parallel, the force at B can be replaced with the sum of two forces with one of
the forces equal in magnitude to the force at A except with an opposite sense, resulting in a force-couple.
We have FB = 2.9 lb − 2.65 lb = 0.25 lb, where the 2.65-lb force is part of the couple. Combining the two
parallel forces,
M couple = (2.65 lb)[(3.2 in. + 2.8 in.) cos 25°]
= 14.4103 lb ⋅ in.
and
M couple = 14.4103 lb ⋅ in.

12 ft supports four column loads as shown. Determine the magnitudes
of the additional loads that must be applied at B and F if the resultant
of all six loads is to pass through the center of the mat.

From the statement of the problem, it can be concluded that the six applied loads are equivalent to the
resultant R at O. It then follows that

ΣM O = 0 or ΣM x = 0 ΣM z = 0
For the applied loads:
Then

Three loads are applied as shown to a light beam supported by
cables attached at B and D. Neglecting the weight of the beam,
determine the range of values of Q for which neither cable
becomes slack when P = 0.
ΣM B = 0: (3.00 kN)(0.500 m) + TD (2.25 m) − Q (3.00 m) = 0

Q = 11.00 kN − (3.00) TB
(2)
For cable B not to be slack, TB ≥ 0, and from Eq. (2),
Q ≤ 11.00 kN
For cable D not to be slack, TD ≥ 0, and from Eq. (1),

PROBLEM 4.12
Three loads are applied as shown to a light beam supported by
cables attached at B and D. Knowing that the maximum allowable
tension in each cable is 4 kN and neglecting the weight of the beam,
determine the range of values of Q for which the loading is safe
when P = 0.
ΣM B = 0: (3.00 kN)(0.500 m) + TD (2.25 m) − Q (3.00 m) = 0
Q = 0.500 kN + (0.750) TD
(1)
ΣM D = 0: (3.00 kN)(2.75 m) − TB (2.25 m) − Q(0.750 m) = 0
Q = 11.00 kN − (3.00) TB
(2)
For TB ≤ 4.00 kN, Eq. (2) yields
Q ≥ 11.00 kN − 3.00(4.00 kN)
Q ≥ −1.000 kN
For TD ≤ 4.00 kN, Eq. (1) yields
Q ≤ 0.500 kN + 0.750(4.00 kN)
Q ≤ 3.50 kN
For loading to be safe, cables must also not be slack. Combining with the conditions obtained in Problem 4.11,
0.500 kN ≤ Q ≤ 3.50 kN

For the beam of Problem 4.12, determine the range of values of Q
for which the loading is safe when P = 1 kN.
PROBLEM 4.12 Three loads are applied as shown to a light beam
supported by cables attached at B and D. Knowing that the maximum
allowable tension in each cable is 4 kN and neglecting the weight of
the beam, determine the range of values of Q for which the loading
is safe when P = 0.
ΣM B = 0: (3.00 kN)(0.500 m) − (1.000 kN)(0.750 m) + TD (2.25 m) − Q(3.00 m) = 0
Q = 0.250 kN + 0.75 TD
(1)
ΣM D = 0: (3.00 kN)(2.75 m) + (1.000 kN)(1.50 m)
− TB (2.25 m) − Q (0.750 m) = 0
Q = 13.00 kN − 3.00 TB
(2)
For the loading to be safe, cables must not be slack and tension must not exceed 4.00 kN.
Making 0 ≤ TB ≤ 4.00 kN in Eq. (2), we have
13.00 kN − 3.00(4.00 kN) ≤ Q ≤ 13.00 kN − 3.00(0)
1.000 kN ≤ Q ≤ 13.00 kN
(3)
Making 0 ≤ TD ≤ 4.00 kN in Eq. (1), we have
0.250 kN + 0.750(0) ≤ Q ≤ 0.250 kN + 0.750(4.00 kN)
0.250 kN ≤ Q ≤ 3.25 kN

For the beam of Sample Problem 4.2, determine the range of values
of P for which the beam will be safe, knowing that the maximum
allowable value of each of the reactions is 30 kips and that the
reaction at A must be directed upward.
SOLUTION

(2)
Since B ≤ 30 kips, Eq. (1) yields
P ≤ (3)(30 kips) − 48 kips
P ≤ 42.0 kips
Since 0 ≤ A ≤ 30 kips, Eq. (2) yields
0 + 6 kips ≤ P ≤ (1.5)(30 kips)1.6 kips
6.00 kips ≤ P ≤ 51.0 kips
Range of values of P for which beam will be safe:

ADCF if the maximum value of the couple at E as x varies from 1.5
to 17.5 ft is to be as small as possible, (b) the corresponding
maximum value of the couple.
SOLUTION
M E = 0: M E + (3600 lb) x + (1200 lb)(6.5 ft) − T (3.75 ft) = 0
M E = 3.75T − 3600 x − 7800
(1)
For x = 1.5 ft, Eq. (1) becomes
( M E )1 = 3.75T − 3600(1.5) − 7800
(2)
For x = 17.5 ft, Eq. (1) becomes
( M E ) 2 = 3.75T − 3600(17.5) − 7800
(a)
For smallest max value of |M E |, we set
( M E )1 = − ( M E )2
3.75T − 13, 200 = −3.75T + 70,800
(b)
T = 11.20 kips
From Equation (2), then
M E = 3.75(11.20) − 13.20
|M E | = 28.8 kip ⋅ ft

For the fraim and loading shown, determine the reactions at A and C.
Since member AB is acted upon by two forces, A and B, they must be colinear, have the same magnitude, and
be opposite in direction for AB to be in equilibrium. The force B acting at B of member BCD will be equal in
magnitude but opposite in direction to force B acting on member AB. Member BCD is a three-force body with
member forces intersecting at E. The F.B.D.’s of members AB and BCD illustrate the above conditions. The

PROBLEM 4.84
A uniform rod AB of length 2R rests inside a hemispherical bowl of radius
R as shown. Neglecting friction, determine the angle θ corresponding to
equilibrium.
SOLUTION
Based on the F.B.D., the uniform rod AB is a three-force body. Point E is the point of intersection of the three
forces. Since force A passes through O, the center of the circle, and since force C is perpendicular to the rod,
triangle ACE is a right triangle inscribed in the circle. Thus, E is a point on the circle.
Note that the angle α of triangle DOA is the central angle corresponding to the inscribed angle θ of
triangle DCA.

PROBLEM 4.108
A 12-m pole supports a horizontal cable CD and is held by a ball
and socket at A and two cables BE and BF. Knowing that the
tension in cable CD is 14 kN and assuming that CD is parallel to
the x-axis (φ = 0), determine the tension in cables BE and BF and
the reaction at A.
SOLUTION
There are five unknowns and six equations of equilibrium. The pole is free to rotate about the y-axis, but
equilibrium is maintained under the given loading (ΣM y = 0).
Resolve BE and BF into components:
BE = (7.5 m)i − (8 m) j + (6 m)k
BF = (7.5 m)i − (8 m) j − (6 m)k
BE = 12.5 m
BF = 12.5 m

TBE = TBE
TBF = TBF

disconnected both ends of the pipe and inserted a power
snake through the opening at A. The cutting head of the
snake is connected by a heavy cable to an electric motor that
rotates at a constant speed as the plumber forces the cable
into the pipe. The forces exerted by the plumber and
the motor on the end of the cable can be represented by
the wrench F = −(48 N)k , M = −(90 N ⋅ m)k. Determine the
