Problem 308 | Equilibrium of Concurrent Force System

Problem 308
The cable and boom shown in Fig. P-308 support a load of 600 lb. Determine the tensile force T in the cable and the
compressive for C in the boom.

ΣFH = 0

∘ ∘
C cos 45 = T cos 30

C = 1.2247T

ΣFV = 0

∘ ∘
T sin 30 + C cos 45 = 600

∘ ∘
T sin 30 + (1.2247T ) cos 45 = 600

1.366T = 600

T = 439.24  lb answer

C = 1.2247(439.24)

C = 537.94  lb answer

ΣFy = 0

∘ ∘
T sin 75 = 600 sin 45

T = 439.23  lb (okay!)

ΣFx = 0

∘ ∘
C = T cos 75 + 600 cos 45

∘ ∘
C = 439.23 cos 75 + 600 cos 45

C = 537.94  lb (okay!)

bakit po cos ang ginamit at hindi sin sa force vertical? ung Tsin30+Ccos45=600 salamat!

Tama ka, sine dapat yan, hindi cosine. Nagkataon lang na ang sine 45° = cos 45° kaya nakuha pa rin yung tamang
sagot.
