- The system shown below is in statics equilibrium. Cable OB lies in the xy plane and makes a 30° angle with the positive x-axis. Cable OA lies along the negative y-axis. If the weight of the load being supported is 100 lb, determine the magnitude of the forces in all four cables: OA, OB, OC, and OD.arrow_forwardThis is a mechanics/statics problem involving finding internal reactions, V(x) and M(x). Please refer to image for details. I'm not sure about where to take cuts and how to formulate the equations as a function of x. For my support Reactions I got Ay = 1008.33 lb, By = 1416.67 lb and Cy = 175 lb. and for the first cut V(x) = 1008.33 -250(x) and M(x) = 1008.33x - 125x^2. I'm struggling with the equations for the 2nd and 3rd cut.arrow_forwardAs shown in the figure below, a ring is used to suspend a load and is supported by Cable OA and Spring OB. Given that the tension in Cable OA is 400 N, what is the weight of the load being supported? Assume the system is in static equilibrium.arrow_forward
- 4. (a) State the conditions that must be met to ensure dynamic balance is achieved for long rotors. (b) A rotor carries three out-of-balance discs in planes A, B and C as shown in Figure 4. The out-of- balance mass x radius products of the rotor discs are tabulated in Table 4. The shaft is to be dynamically balanced by adding balancing masses in planes P and Q, spaced along the shaft at a distance da = 800 mm. Determine the magnitude mara and angular position of the balancing mass x radius product that must be added to plane Q.
