1. Determine the magnitudes of F1 and F2 so that particle P is in equilibrium.

4. The unstretched length of spring AB is 2 m. If the block is held in the equilibrium position shown below, determine the mass of the block at D.

2. Determine the magnitude and angle of F so that the particle is in equilibrium.

5. The ball D has a mass of 20 kg. If a force of F = 100 N is applied horizontally to the ring at A, determine the largest dimension d so that the force in cable AC is zero.

3. The 500 N ( 50 kg) crate is hoisted using ropes AB and AC. Each rope can withstand a maximum tension of 2500 N before it breaks. If AB always remains horizontal, determine the smallest angle to which the crate can be hoisted.

6. Determine the maximum weight W of the block that can be suspended in the position shown if each cord can support a maximum tension of 80 N. Also, what is the angle for equilibrium?

8. The 2500 N crate is to be hoisted with constant velocity from the hold of a ship using the cable arrangement shown. Determine the tension in each of the three cables for equilibrium.

7. Determine the magnitude and direction of F 1 required to keep the concurrent force system in equilibrium.

9. Determine the tension developed in cables OD and OB and the strut OC, required to support the 50 kg crate. The spring OA has unstretched length of 0.8 m and a stiffness kOA = 1.2 kN/m. The force in the strut acts along the axis of the strut.
