In Fig, 12-16, a rigid beam is attached to two posts that are fastened to a floor. A small but heavy safe is placed at the six positions indicated, in turn. Assume that the mass of the beam is negligible compared to that of the safe.(a) Rank the positions according to the force on post A due to the safe, greatest compression first, greatest tension last, and indicate where, if anywhere, the force is zero, (b) Rank them according to the force on post B.

- 13-5. If blocks A and B of mass 10 kg and 6 kg respectively, are placed on the inclined plane and released, determine the force developed in the link. The coefficients of kinetic friction between the blocks and the inclined plane are HA = 0.1 and µg = 0.3. Neglect the mass of the link. 30°arrow_forwardThe rectangular framework is subjected to the following non-concurrent system of forces: a 30lb- force below the origin, a 20lb-force 3ft above the origin and making an angle of 30°NE, a 100lb-force with a horizontal distance of 3ft and a vertical distance of 4ftfrom the origin and making an angle of 45° NW, a 60lb force with the same distance like the previous force but along the positive x-axis, and a 100lbs force 4ft to the right of the origin and making an angle of 60° SW. Determine the magnitude and direction of the resultant, as well as its moment arm relative to the origin.arrow_forward(b) In the figure below, a uniform beam of weight 500 N and length 3.0 m is suspended horizontally. On the left it is hinged to a wall; on the right it is sup- ported by a cable bolted to the wall at distance D above the beam. The least tension that will snap the cable is 1200 N. (a) What value of D corresponds to that tension? (b) To prevent the cable from snapping, should D be increased or decreased from that value? D Cable Beamarrow_forward

- A pair of wedges is used to lift a crate as shown in The crate weighs 4000 lb, the wedge angle e is Fig. 18°, and the coefficient of friction is 0.15 at all surfaces. The weight of the wedges is negligible. Determine The force P necessary to remove the wedge or to pre- vent the wedge from slipping out Warrow_forwardPlease help mearrow_forwardA uniform straight bar 2.00 m long and weighing 450 N is supported by two cables at its ends to the roof of a house. Cable 1 on the left end can withstand a maximum tension of 600 N without breaking, while Cable 2 on the right end can withstand a maximum tension of 500 N.You want to put additional weight on that bar. Calculate: (a) What is the maximum weight you can place on the bar without breaking any of the cables? (b) Where should you place this weight on the bar?arrow_forward
