The lamp has a mass of 20 kg and is supported by a pole AO and cables AB and AC . If the force in the pole acts along its axis, determine the tensions in the cables AB and AC for equilibrium. (Use g=9.81 m/s2 )
Added by Liyanda
Step 1
The lamp is subjected to three forces: the gravitational force acting downward, and the tensions in cables AB and AC, which act along the lines of their respective cables. Additionally, there is a force exerted by the pole AO, which acts along the axis of the Show more…

Cables AB and AC can sustain a maximum tension of 600 N. Determine the maximum weight of the lamp that can be supported in the position shown if the force in the pole is 400 N, given as FAO. The force in the pole acts along the axis of the pole. Use Cartesian Vector Notation (CVN). Show free body diagrams and all calculations.

A lamp is supported in equilibrium by two chains fixed to points A and B at the same level. The lengths of the chains are 0.3 m and 0.4 m, and the distance between points A and B is 0.5 m. Given that the tension in the longer chain is 36 N, show by resolving horizontally that the tension in the shorter chain is 48 N. By resolving vertically, find the mass of the lamp.

Determine the force in each cable and the force $\mathbf{F}$ needed to hold the $4-\mathrm{kg}$ lamp in the position shown. Hint: First analyze the equilibrium at $B ;$ then, using the result for the force in $B C$, analyze the equilibrium at $C$.
