Statics of Rigid Bodies Assignment No. 3

This document is an assignment submission from 5 students for their Statics of Rigid Bodies course. It contains the students' solutions to 3 problems: 1) Finding the position and tensions in cables supporting a 300kg sack; 2) Determining the maximum weight a bucket system can support before tensions exceed 180lb; and 3) Finding the force and orientation of member B under concurrent forces at a gusset plate. The students provide their calculations and final answers for each problem in the submission.

1. Cable ABC has a length of 5 m. Determine the position x and the tension developed in
ABC required for equilibrium of the 300-kg sack. What are the tensions in the cables AB
and AC? Neglect the size of the pulley at B.

Solution:
2. Determine the maximum weight of the bucket that the wire system can support so that no
single wire develops a tension exceeding 180 lb.
Solution:
3. The gusset plate is subjected to the forces of four members. Determine the force in
member B and its proper orientation for equilibrium. The forces are concurrent at point
O. Take F = 20 kN:
Solution:
