This document provides 5 statics problems: 1) determining support reactions on a barrier, 2) forces in members of a truss, 3) shear force and bending moment diagrams for a beam, 4) forces in cables hoisting an elevator car, and 5) minimum horizontal force to lift a crate with a wedge. The problems involve concepts such as support reactions, internal forces in trusses and beams, pulley systems, and static friction.

1. Determine the support reactions acting on the barrier at A and B.
Neglect the weight of the barrier
2. Determine the forces in the
following members of the truss in the given figure: FI and JC. Indicate tension or compression 3. Using the area method, draw the shear force and bending moment diagrams for the beam. Neglect the weight of the beam.
4. A 500-kg elevator car shown below is being hoisted by motor
A using the pulley system shown. If the car is traveling with a constant speed, determine the force developed in the two cables. Neglect the mass of the cable and pulleys. 5. Determine the smallest horizontal force P required to lift the 200-kg crate. The coefficient of static friction at all contacting surfaces is μs =0.30. Neglect the mass of the wedge.
