A crate weighs 530 lb and is hung by three ropes attached to a steel ring at A such that the top surface is parallel to the xy plane. Point A is located at a height of h = 42 in above the top of the crate directly over the geometric center of the top surface. Use the dimensions given in the table below to determine the tension in each of the three ropes. 2013 Michael Swanbom ↑ Z C BY NC SA b x B у D Values for dimensions on the figure are given in the following table. Note the figure may not be to scale. Variable Value a 30 in b 43 in с 4.5 in The tension in rope AB is lb The tension in rope AC is lb The tension in rope AD is lb

The airplane weighs 144100 lbs and flies at constant speed and trajectory given by 0 on the figure. The plane experiences a drag force of 73620 lbs. a.) If = 11.3°, determine the thrust and lift forces required to maintain this speed and trajectory. b.) Next consider the case where is unknown, but it is known that the lift force is equal to 7.8 times the quantity (Fthrust Fdrag). Compute the resulting trajectory angle - and the lift force in this case. Use the same values for the weight and drag forces as you used for part a. Уллу Fdrag 10.

The thrust and drag forces act in the positive and negative x' directions respectively. Part (a) The thrust force is equal to lbs. The lift force is equal to Part (b) The trajectory angle is equal to deg. The lift force is equal to lbs. lbs.

The hoist consists of a single rope and an arrangement of frictionless pulleys as shown. If the angle 0 = 59°, determine the force that must be applied to the rope, Frope, to lift a load of 4.4 kN. The three-pulley and hook assembly at the center of the system has a mass of 22.5 kg with a center of mass that lies on the line of action of the force applied to the hook. e ΘΕ B CC 10 BY NC SA 2013 Michael Swanbom Fhook Note the figure may not be to scale.
