A force of 150 lb acts on the end of the beam shown in Fig. 5-16a. Determine the magnitude and direction of the reaction at the pin A and the tension in the cable.

Step 1
For a body to be in equilibrium, the sum of the forces and the sum of the moments acting on it must be zero. Let's denote the reaction at the pin A as Ra (which can be decomposed into horizontal and vertical components, Ra_x and Ra_y), and the tension in the Show more…

The figure below shows a beam of uniform density with a mass of 34.5 kg and a length l = 5.40 m. It is suspended from a cable at a distance d = 1.20 m from its left end, while its right end is supported by a vertical column. (a) What is the tension (in N) in the cable? (b) What is the magnitude of the force (in N) that the column exerts on the right end of the beam?

Knowing that the tension is $425 \mathrm{lb}$ in cable $A B$ and $510 \mathrm{lb}$ in cable $A C,$ determine the magnitude and direction of the resultant of the forces exerted at $A$ by the two cables.
