4. Determine the smallest force F that must be applied along the rope in order to cause the curved rod, which has a radius of 4 m, to fail at the support A. This requires a moment of M = 1500 N*m to be developed at A. Ans: F = 585 N

Step 1
First, let's calculate the moment of the force F about point A. The moment is given by the formula M = F * d, where F is the force and d is the perpendicular distance from the point of application of the force to point A. Show more…

Determine the smallest force $F$ that must be applied along the rope in order to cause the curved rod, which has a radius of $4 \mathrm{m},$ to fail at the support $A$. This requires a moment of $M=1500 \mathrm{N} \cdot \mathrm{m}$ to be developed at $A$.
Determine the smallest force $F$ that must be applied along the rope in order to cause the curved rod, which has a radius of $5 \mathrm{ft}$, to fail at the support $C$. This requires a moment of $M=80 \mathrm{lb} \cdot \mathrm{ft}$ to be developed at $C$.
