Transcribed Image Text:Question 4(a)
The uniform bar shown in Figure 4 weighs 428 N. It is supported by a pin at A and a cable
that runs around the pulley, D. It is subjected to a uniformly distributed load of 17.7 N/m and
12.5 Nm clockwise moment at E. Beam is in equilibrium position as shown in the Figure. Take
a = 0.41 m and b = 2.5 m. Determine the tension in the cable and the reaction force at A,
both in Newtons.

Question 4(b)
Find a truss from your neighborhood where you can take a photo safely. It does not have to
be taken from the perfect angle and as long as we can see the complete truss that is good
enough. One photo would be ideal but upto 3 photos can be used. Include these photos in
your solutions for this question and based on these photos draw this 2D truss (exact
dimensions are not required) with the supports too. Comment on the possible loads and
their locations that may be applied to the truss. Discuss the assumptions that you have to
make to analyse this truss. No calculations are required. (Description should be 250 words or
less).
