Problem 4-4 (page 138)
Draw the free body diagram of the beam which
supports the 80-kg load and is supported by the pin
at A and a cable which wraps around the pulley at D.
Explain the significance of each force on the
diagram.
Solution:
80(9.81)N is the effect of the cable
(the weight of the object) on the beam.
T is the effect of the cable on the beam.
Ax and Ay are the effect of the pin
Support on the beam.

Draw the free-body diagram of the winch,
which consists of a drum radius 4 in. It is
pin-connected at it center C, and at its
outer rim is a ratchet gear having a mean
radius of 6 in. The pawl AB serves as a
two-force member (short link) and holds
the drum for rotating.
