EQUILIBRIO DE PARTÍCULA

1. Two cables are tied together at C and are loaded as

shown. Determine the tension (a) in cable AC, (b) in cable
BC.

2. Two forces of magnitude TA = 8 kips and TB = 15

kips are applied as shown to a welded connection.
Knowing that the connection is in equilibrium,
determine the magnitudes of the forces TC and TD.

3. Determine the tension developed in the cables

AB, AC and AD.

4. A frame ABC is supported in part by cable DBE

that passes through a frictionless ring at B. Knowing
that the tension in the cable is 385 N, determine the
components of the force exerted by the cable on the
support at D.
