Question

3. A pulley of 1-ft radius, supporting a load of 500lbs, is mounted at B on a horizontal beam as shown in the figure. If the beam weighs 200lbs and the pulley weighs 50lbs, find the hinge force at C. 4. The wheel loads on a small tractor crossing an 18 feet span are given in the figure. Determine the distance, x at which the support reaction at A is twice that at B.

Step 1

We have: - Load at point C = 5000 lbs - Weight of beam = 200 lbs (acting at the center of the beam) - Weight of pulley = 50 lbs (acting at point B) - Hinge force at C (what we're solving for) - Reaction force at A (to be determined) Show more…

A pulley of 1-ft radius, supporting a load of 500 lbs, is mounted at B on a horizontal beam. If the tension in the cable is 50 lbs, find the hinge force at C. The wheel loads on a small tractor crossing an 18-foot span are given in the figure. Determine the distance, x, at which the support reaction at A is twice that at B.
