Member ABC is supported by arm BD (pin connections at B and D) and a pin support at A.
Member ABC weighs 12 lbs., while the weight of arm BD is negligible in comparison. Assume
member ABC is homogeneous having a center of gravity at its midpoint. If a force of T = 45 lb
is applied at point C as shown, determine the support reactions at pin A and the reaction at pin B.
State whether arm BD is in tension or compression.
The ramp of a ship has a weight of F Ib acts in the center of gravity at G. The ramp is supported
by a pin at point "A" and a smooth surface on "B".
If the ramp was in equilibrium, answer the following questions:
a. Draw the free body diagram of the ramp AB.
b. Determine the cable force at C that is needed to lift the ramp (that makes the reaction
at B equals to Zero).
c. Determine the horizontal and vertical components of reaction at pin A.
