Boom AB is held in the position shown by three cables. Knowing that the tensions in cables AC and AD are 4 kN and 5.2 kN, respectively, determine (a) the tension in cable AE if the resultant of the tensions exerted at point A of the boom must be directed along AB, (b) the corresponding magnitude of the resultant.
(5.2 kN)sin 35
TAE sin 65 = 0
(5.2 kN)cos35
(7.2909 kN)cos65
PROBLEM 2.57
A block of weight W is suspended from a 500-mm long cord and two springs of which the unstretched lengths are 450 mm. Knowing that the constants of the springs are kAB = 1500 N/m and kAD = 500 N/m, determine (a) the tension in the cord, (b) the weight of the block.
SOLUTION
Free-Body Diagram At A First note from geometry: The sides of the triangle with hypotenuse AD are in the ratio 8:15:17. The sides of the triangle with hypotenuse AB are in the ratio 3:4:5. The sides of the triangle with hypotenuse AC are in the ratio 7:24:25. Then: FAB = kAB (LAB Lo ) and
( )2 ( )2 LAB =
So:
FAB = 1500 N/m(0.55 m 0.45 m) = 150 N Similarly, FAD = kAD (LAD Lo ) Then:
0.68 m
