1.

Two crates, each of mass 350 kg, are placed as

shown in the bed of a 1400-kg pickup truck. Determine
the reactions at each of the two (a) rear wheels A, (b)
front wheels B.

2. A T-shaped bracket supports the four loads

shown. Determine the reactions at A and B (a) if a
=10 in., (b) if a = 7 in.

3. A hand truck is used to move two kegs, each of mass 40

kg. Neglecting the mass of the hand truck, determine (a) the
vertical force P that should be applied to the handle to
maintain equilibrium when = 35, (b) the corresponding
reaction at each of the two wheels.

4. For the beam and loading shown,

determine (a) the reaction at A, (b) the
tension in cable BC.

5. The bracket BCD is hinged at C and

attached to a control cable at B. For the loading
shown, determine (a) the tension in the cable,
(b) the reaction at C.

6. The lever BCD is hinged at C and attached to a control rod at B. If P = 100 lb,
determine (a) the tension in rod AB, (b) the reaction at C.

7. Determine the reactions at

A and B when (a) = 0, (b)
= 90, (c) = 30.

8. Determine the reactions at A and B when (a) h = 0,

(b) h = 200 mm.
9. A rod AB, hinged at A and attached at B to cable
BD, supports the loads shown. Knowing that d =150
mm, determine (a) the tension in cable BD, (b) the reaction at A.

10. The rig shown consists of a 1200-lb

horizontal member ABC and a vertical
member DBE welded together at B. The rig
is being used to raise a 3600-lb crate at a
distance x = 12 ft from the vertical member
DBE. If the tension in the cable is 4 kips,
determine the reaction at E, assuming that
the cable is (a) anchored at F as shown in the figure, (b) attached to the vertical
member at a point located 1 ft above E.

11. The frame shown supports part of the

roof of a small building. Knowing that the
tension in the cable is 150 kN, determine the
reaction at the fixed end E.
