1. The rig shown consists of a 5.4-kN horizontal member ABC and a vertical member DBE welded together at B. The rig is being used to raise a 16.2-kN crate at a distance x = 4.8 m from the vertical member DBE. If the tension in the cable is 18 kN, determine the reaction at E assuming that the cable is (a) anchored at F as shown in the figure, (b) attached to the vertical member at a point located 0.4 m above E.

Step 1
The system is in equilibrium, which means the sum of all horizontal forces equals zero, the sum of all vertical forces equals zero, and the sum of all moments (torques) around any point equals zero. Let's proceed step by step. ** Show more…

Pole AB is 12 m long and its weight W is 35 kN. It is being lifted using cables BC and BD. When the pole is tilted at an angle of 60° from the X-axis, the resultant force acts at point A. Solve for the tensile force in the cable BC. B. Calculate the tensile force in the cable BD. C. Determine the value of the resultant acting at point A.
