Problem 2.87

The document describes a problem involving calculating the components of force exerted by guy wires on anchors at different points. It provides the tension in each wire and the position vectors of the anchors, and shows the calculation of the x, y, z components of force using the tension and position vector information.

PROBLEM 2.

87
A transmission tower is held by three guy wires anchored by bolts at B,
C, and D. If the tension in wire AB is 2100 N, determine the components
of the force exerted by the wire on the bolt at B.

SOLUTION
JJJG
BA = ( 4 m ) i + ( 20 m ) j − ( 5 m ) k

BA = ( 4 m )2 + ( 20 m )2 + ( −5 m )2 = 21 m
JJJG
BA 2100 N
F = F λ BA = F = ( 4 m ) i + ( 20 m ) j − ( 5 m ) k 
BA 21 m 

F = ( 400 N ) i + ( 2000 N ) j − ( 500 N ) k

Fx = +400 N, Fy = +2000 N, Fz = −500 N

PROBLEM 2.88
A transmission tower is held by three guy wires anchored by bolts at B,
C, and D. If the tension in wire AD is 1260 N, determine the components
of the force exerted by the wire on the bolt at D.

SOLUTION
JJJG
DA = ( 4 m ) i + ( 20 m ) j + (14.8 m ) k

DA = ( 4 m )2 + ( 20 m )2 + (14.8 m )2 = 25.2 m
JJJG
DA 1260 N
F = F λ DA = F = ( 4 m ) i + ( 20 m ) j + (14.8 m ) k 
DA 25.2 m 

F = ( 200 N ) i + (1000 N ) j + ( 740 N ) k

Fx = +200 N, Fy = +1000 N, Fz = +740 N

92
PROBLEM 2.89
A rectangular plate is supported by three cables as shown. Knowing that
the tension in cable AB is 204 lb, determine the components of the force
exerted on the plate at B.

SOLUTION
JJJG
BA = ( 32 in.) i + ( 48 in.) j − ( 36 in.) k

BA = ( 32 in.)2 + ( 48 in.)2 + ( −36 in.)2 = 68 in.


JJJG
BA 204 lb
F = F λ BA = F = ( 32 in.) i + ( 48 in.) j − ( 36 in.) k 
BA 68 in. 

F = ( 96 lb ) i + (144 lb ) j − (108 lb ) k

Fx = +96.0 lb, Fy = +144.0 lb, Fz = −108.0 lb

93
PROBLEM 2.90
A rectangular plate is supported by three cables as shown. Knowing that
the tension in cable AD is 195 lb, determine the components of the force
exerted on the plate at D.

SOLUTION
JJJG
DA = − ( 25 in.) i + ( 48 in.) j + ( 36 in.) k

DA = ( −25 in.)2 + ( 48 in.)2 + ( 36 in.)2 = 65 in.


JJJG
DA 195 lb
F = F λ DA = F = ( −25 in.) i + ( 48 in.) j + ( 36 in.) k 
DA 65 in. 

F = − ( 75 lb ) i + (144 lb ) j + (108 lb ) k

Fx = −75.0 lb, Fy = +144.0 lb, Fz = +108.0 lb

94
PROBLEM 2.91
A steel rod is bent into a semicircular ring of radius 0.96 m and is
supported in part by cables BD and BE which are attached to the ring at
B. Knowing that the tension in cable BD is 220 N, determine the
components of this force exerted by the cable on the support at D.

SOLUTION
JJJG
DB = ( 0.96 m ) i − (1.12 m ) j − ( 0.96 m ) k

DB = ( 0.96 m )2 + ( −1.12 m )2 + ( −0.96 m )2 = 1.76 m


JJJG
DB 220 N
TDB = T λ DB =T = ( 0.96 m ) i − (1.12 m ) j − ( 0.96 m ) k 
DB 1.76 m 

TDB = (120 N ) i − (140 N ) j − (120 N ) k

(TDB ) x = +120.0 N, (TDB ) y = −140.0 N, (TDB ) z = −120.0 N
