Concept explainers
The two I-beams are welded together and are initially supported by the three cables of equal length hanging vertically from supports directly above A, B, and C. When applied with the appropriate off set d, the 200-N force causes the system to assume the new equilibrium configuration shown. All three cables are inclined at the same angle

A uniform beam weighing W = 1.5 kN is acted upon by a load of magnitude 4.5 kN applied to the movable hook, as shown. It is in a horizontal position and supported by ropes at A and B that pass over the frictionless pulleys. Each pulley has a radius of r = 0.1 m. Neglect the weight of the pulleys, and the ropes.
