    This document contains a 3 question quiz for a statics course covering cables, tensions, and force components. The first question involves determining the tension in two cables tied together and loaded at an angle. The second asks to find the vertical force from a balloon tethered by three cables where one tension is given. The third requires breaking forces into x, y, and z components.

    ME 212 STATICS: QUIZ 1


    Open Book, Closed Notes, Do not write on this sheet, Show all work
    1. (35 points) Cables AC and BC are tied together at C and are loaded as shown.
    Knowing that P = 100 lb, determine the tension in the two cables when = 40.

    2. (45 points) Three cables are used to tether a balloon as shown. Determine the vertical
    force P exerted by the balloon at A knowing that the tension in cable AC is 500 N.

    3. (20 points) Determine the x, y and z components of the resultant of the two forces
    shown knowing that P = 500 lb and Q = 500 lb.
