The supporting structure of the billboard is attached to the ground by a pin at B, and a roller at A. Point G is the center of gravity of the billboard and structure, which together has a weight of 1400 N. To prevent tipping over in high winds, a 1200-kg mass is placed on the structure near A, as shown. Compute the magnitudes of the reactions at A and B if the wind load on the billboard is q = 1200 N/m.
. The bars AB and AC are joined by a pin at A and a horizontal cable. The vertical cable carrying the 200- kg mass is attached to the pin at A. Determine the tension in the horizontal cable. Neglect the weights of
the bars
3. The unstretched length of an elastic cord is made to run vertically from the ceiling
down to the floor. If the mid-portion of the elastic cord is pulled with a 15 kg horizontal
force, thus stretching the chord and making the cord inclined with a slope of 4/5,
determine the tension in the chord.
