body
1. State in words the condition or conditions for equilibrium of a
under the action of non-concurrent forces.
2. In Figure 1 of the experiment, no pan is used so there are no initial
readings on the spring scales. When a 5-kg load is hung at point 0
and member AO is adjusted until it is horizontal, the angle 0 is
measured to be 35°. Determine the final readings of spring scales S₁
and S2 and solve for the moments they produce about each of the
axes passing through A and B if member AB is measured to be 40 cm.
