Exercise 3

1. Determine the magnitude and Direction of forces C and T on the truss joint, as shown in the
Figure below

2. An OAB body is rotated by a T torque around the hinge, so that it has an angular velocity of ω =
100 rad / sec and an angular acceleration of α = I 000 rad / sec. Force P = 400 kg, acting at tip A
in the direction shown in Figure below. If OA = 24 cm, OB = BA = I5 cm, weight of body W = 20 kg
and body girth radius to hinges is 0, I0 = I2 cm, determine the size and direction of the torque of
the sistem, and the reaction force on the hinge 0.

3. The "T" shaped rod as shown in the figure below, with a weight of W = 2 kN, the center of
weight is at point G and hinges on O and the support of rod at B. If the T-strap tied at point A is
 pulled with force T = 3 kN, specify the reaction at hinge 0

4. Determine the magnitude and direction of the force that must be applied through the P point,
so that the system in the Figure below, is in equilibrium
