An 1800-N load Q is applied to the pulley C, which can roll on the cable ACB. The pulley is held in the position shown by a second cable CAD, which passes over the pulley A and supports a load P. Determine (a) the tension in cable ACB, (b) the magnitude of load P.

Free-Body Diagram: Pulley C

Fx = 0: TACB (cos 25 cos 55) P cos 55 = 0

or

P = 0.58010TACB Fy = 0: TACB (sin 25 + sin 55) + P sin 55 1800 N = 0

(1)

or (a)

1.24177TACB + 0.81915 P = 1800 N

(2)

Substitute Equation (1) into Equation (2):

1.24177TACB + 0.81915(0.58010TACB ) = 1800 N

Hence:

TACB = 1048.37 N TACB = 1048 N

(b)

Using (1),

P = 0.58010(1048.37 N) = 608.16 N P = 608 N

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.

DB = (480 mm)i (510 mm) j + (320 mm)k DB = (480 mm)2 + (510 mm 2 ) + (320 mm) 2 = 770 mm F = F DB DB =F DB 385 N [(480 mm)i (510 mm)j + (320 mm)k ] = 770 mm = (240 N)i (255 N) j + (160 N)k Fx = +240 N, Fy = 255 N, Fz = +160.0 N

PROBLEM 2.121
Cable BAC passes through a frictionless ring A and is attached to xed supports at B and C, while cables AD and AE are both tied to the ring and are attached, respectively, to supports at D and E. Knowing that a 200-N vertical load P is applied to ring A, determine the tension in each of the three cables.
