Transcribed Image Text:**Problem 5-16:**
Determine the tension in the cable and the horizontal and vertical components of reaction of the pin at \( A \). The pulley at \( D \) is frictionless and the cylinder weighs 80 lb.
**Diagram Explanation:**
The diagram consists of a horizontal beam pinned at point \( A \), extending to point \( C \), where it supports a hanging cylinder weighing 80 lb. The beam is supported by a cable that runs from point \( B \) over a frictionless pulley at point \( D \), connecting back to point \( C \).
- **Beam \( ABC \):**
- \( AB \) is a horizontal section 5 ft in length.
- \( BC \) is another horizontal section 8 ft in length (5 ft + 3 ft).
- **Pulley at \( D \):**
- Positioned vertically above \( B \), supporting the cable.
- **Cable:**
- Runs from \( B \) to \( D \) to \( C \).
- **Forces:**
- The weight of the cylinder creates a downward force of 80 lb at point \( C \).
- The reaction at pin \( A \) has horizontal and vertical components to be determined.
**Objective:**
- Determine the tension in the cable.
- Calculate the reaction components at pin \( A \).
