A model for the control arm ABCD for the suspension of one of the wheels of an automobile is shown. The control arm is supported by ball-and-socket joints at points A and C, and by a spring BE. Points A, C, and Elie in the yz plane and are attached to the frame of the automobile. The vertical force P = 3 kN is due to the weight of the automobile, and the control arm has negligible weight. NOTE: This is a multi-part question. Once an answer is submitted, you will be unable to return to this part. 390 mm E 240 mm B (180, 120, 30) mm D (300, 120, 10) mm 70 mm Determine the force in spring BE. (Round the final answer to four decimal places.) (Do not include a minus sign in your response.) The spring force is kN compression.

Under what conditions can a rotating body be in equilibrium? Give an example.
In order to get his car out of the mud, a man ties one end of a rope to the front bumper and the other end to a tee 15 m away as shown below. He then pulls on the center of the rope with a force of 400 N, which causes its center to be displaced 0.30 m, as shown. What is the force of the rope on the car?
Check Your Understanding For the situation in described in Example 12.5, determine the values of the coefficient s of static friction for which the ladder starts slipping, given that is the angle that the ladder makes with the floor.

Show that, as explained in the text, a force F exerted on a flexible medium at its center and perpendicular to its length (such as on the tightrope wire in Figure 5.26) gives rise to a tension of magnitude T=F/2sin() .
Two children push on opposite sides of a door during play. Both push horizontally and perpendicular to the door. One child pushes with a force of 17.5 N at a distance of 0.600 m from the hinges, and the second child pushes at a distance of 0.450 m. What force must the second child exert to keep the door from moving? Assume friction is negligible.

The forearm shown below is positioned at an angle with respect to the upper arm , and a 5.0- kg mass is held in the hand. The total mass of the forearm and hand is 3.0 kg, and their center of mass is 15.0 cm from the elbow. (a) What is the magnitude of the force that the biceps muscle exerts on the forearm for =60 ? (b) What is the magnitude of the force on the elbow joint for the same angle? (c) How do these forces depend on the angle ?
A stepladder of negligible weight is constructed as shown in Figure P10.73, with AC = BC = ℓ. A painter of mass m stands on the ladder a distance d from the bottom. Assuming the floor is frictionless, find (a) the tension in the horizontal bar DE connecting the two halves of the ladder, (b) the normal forces at A and B, and (c) the components of the reaction force at the single hinge C that the left half of the ladder exerts on the right half. Suggestion: Treat the ladder as a single object, but also treat each half of the ladder separately. Figure P10.73 Problems 73 and 74.
A uniform horizontal strut weighs 400.0 N. One end of the strut is attached to a hinged support the wall and the other end of the strut is attached to a sign that weighs 200.0 N The strut is also supported by a cable attached between the end of the strut and the wall. Assuming that the entire weight of the sign is attached at the very end of the s find the tension in the cable and the force at the hinge of the strut.
