2. A scale is constructed
using the 10 kg mass A, the 2
kilogram pan P and the pulley
and cord arrangement. Cord
BCA is 2 m long. If s = 0.75 m,
determine the mass D in the
pan. Neglect the size of the
pulley.
PROBLEMS
3. The hoist shown is used to
position heavy workpieces in a
lathe. If the cable between
pulleys A and B can support a
maximum force of 1.2 kN, all
other cables can support a
maximum force of 2.2 kN, and
bar CE can support a maximum
comressive force of 2.6 kN,
determine the largest weight
W that may be lifted.
Note that bar CE is a two
force member which can
support a force along its
longitudinal axis.

4. Two particles weighing 800 N and 200 N are held
in equilibrium on frictionless perpendicular surfaces
by a cable which makes an angle q with the horizontal.

5. It is aimed to hold the 48 kN load in equilibrium
by the wire AB that passes fromthe ring at C. In
order to do this, another force P parallel to the xy
plane is applied to the ring. Determine the tension

7. A small peg P rests on a spring that is contained
inside the smooth pipe. When the spring is
compressed so that s = 0.15 m, the spring exerts an
