    This document contains 6 questions regarding the equilibrium of rigid bodies for a mechanics tutorial. Question 1 asks to determine the range of mass values for a crate on a beam such that the system remains in equilibrium. Question 2 involves calculating the tension in a cable and reaction at a hinge for a rod supporting loads. Question 3 requests the tension in a cord and reactions at bearings for a lever and pulley system with a vertical load.

    Tutorial 3 (Chapter 4: Equilibrium of Rigid Bodies)

    Question 1

    For the given loading of the beam AB,


    determine the range of values of the mass
    of the crate for which the system will be
    in equilibrium, knowing that the
    maximum allowable value of the
    reactions at each support is 2.5kN and
    that the reaction at E must be directed
    downward.

    Question 2
    A rod AB, hinged at A and attached at
    B to cable BD, supports the loads
    shown. Knowing that d = 200mm,
    determine
    (a) the tension in cable BD,
    (b) the reaction at A

    Question 3

    A 200mm lever and a 240mm diameter


    pulley are welded to the axle BE that is
    supported by bearings at C and D. If a
    720N vertical load is applied at A
    when the level is horizontal, determine
    (a) the tension in the cord
    (b) the reactions at C and D.
    Assume that the bearing at D does not
    exert any axial thrust.

    Question 4
    Try Question 3, by assuming that the axle has been rotated clockwise in its bearings by 30
    degree and that the 720N load remain vertical, determine (a) the tension in the cord and the
    reactions at C and D. Assume that the bearing at D does not exert any axial thrust

    Question 5

    The rectangular plate shown


    weighs 400N and is supported by
    three vertical wires. Determine
    the tension in each wire.

    Question 6

    A 10m boom is acted upon by the


    4kN force shown. Determine the
    tension in each cable and the
    reaction at the ball and socket joint
    at A.
