Exercise 2-100
The
70-m microwave
transmission
tower
is
steadied by three guy
cables as shown. Cable AB
carries a tension of 12 kN.
Express the corresponding
force on point B as a
vector.

Solution

Exercise 2-104
The turnbuckle is tightened
until the tension in the
cable AB equals 2.4 kN.
Determine the vector
expression for the tension T
as a force acting on
member AD. Also find the
magnitude
of
the
projection of T along the
line AC.

Solution

Exercise 2-108
The cable BC carries a
tension of 750 N. Write
this tension as a force T
acting on point B in
terms of the unit
vectors i, j, and k. The
elbow at A forms a
right angle.

Exercise 2-113
The access door is held in
the 30 open position by
the chain AB. If the
tension in the chain is 100
N,
determine
the
projection of the tension
force onto the diagonal
axis CD of the door.
