Chapter 6, Problem 28PCE

Predict/Calculate The system shown in Figure 6-45 consists of two pulleys and two blocks. The pulleys each have a mass of 2.0 kg, the block on the left has a mass of 16 kg, and the block on the right has a mass m. The system is in equilibrium, and the string is massless. (a) Is the mass m greater than, less than, or equal to 16 kg? Explain. (b) Determine the mass m.

QI) At point A, the four forces Fs, Fc, Fp and Fe act, the lines of action for these forces are given by the straight lines AB, AC, AD and AF, as shown in Figure 1, Coordinate the points are: A 3 3 6. 2 D. 8 E 4 12 cm em Figure 1 The magnitudes of the forces are: F=7 KN, F= 3 KN, F= 9 KN and F= 13 KN. Represent this force F acting on the point A as a Cartesian vector and determine its direction.

Replace the three forces shown by an equivalent force-couple system at point A. If the forces are replaced by a single resultant force, determine the distance d below point A to its line of action. 230 N 420 mm 420 mm 130 N 420 mm 270 N Answers: Force-couple system at A. The force is positive if to the right, and the couple is positive if counterclockwise. R = i N M = i N-m Single resultant force. d = i mm

In the diagram mass M rests on a frictionless surface and is connected to a counterweight m by a light string over a smooth pulley. If M= 5kg and the angle 0 = 30°, what is the value of the %3D counterweight m so that both masses remain at rest? M m
