(3) The uniform rectangular plate is supported by two hinges at A and B and held in the horizontal position by cable EF as shown. The weight of the plate is 750 lb and a 300 lb force is applied at corner D of the plate. Determine (a) the tension T in cable EF, (b) the magnitude of the reaction force normal to the hinge axis at hinge B. Ans: (a) T 495 lb (b) B = 304 lb 300 lb 4 in. 30 in. 8 in. B 4 in. 25 in. 20 in. x
