Determine the angles
and
and the length of side AB of the triangle. Note that there are two possible answers to this question and we have provided only one of them as an answer.
Determine the design angle
(
<90°) bretween the two struts so that the 500-lb horizontal force has a component of 600lb directed from A toward C. That is the component of force acting along member AB?

The cord is attached between two walls. If it is 8 m long, determine the distance x to the point of attachment at B.

Determine the magnitude and direction
of F so that this force has components of 40 lb acting from A toward B and 60lb acting from A toward C on the frame.

Two forces act on a block. Determine the angle
between them.

Replace the force F, having a magnitude of F = 40 lb and acting at B, by an equivalent force and couple moment at A.

The distributed loadings of soil pressure on the sides and bottom of a spread footing are shown. Simplify this system to a single resultant force and couple moment acting at A. What is the resultant force F and the couple moment M?

Determine the couple moment. Use a vector analysis and express the result as a Cartesian vector.

A force of 50 N is applied to the handle of the door as shown. Determine the projection of the moment of this force about the hinged axis z. Neglect the size of the doorknob. Suggestion: Use a scaler analysis.

There is a ball and socket connection at A. At point B there is a connection that opposes motion in the x and z directions only. Determine the unknown force components at A and B. Use a scalar analysis.

Determine the volume of concrete needed to construct the circular curb.

The irregular area has a moment of inertia about the AA axis of 35 (106) mm4. If the total area is 12.0(103) mm2, determine the moment of inertia if the area about the BB axis. The DD axis passes through the centroid C of the area.

The mine car is being pulled up to the inclined plane using the motor M and the rope-and-pulley arragement shown. Determine the speed vp at which a point P on the cable must be traveling toward the motor to move the the car up the plane with a constant speed of v = 5 m/s.

A passenger in the automobile B observes the motion of the train car . At the instant shown, the train has a speed of 18 m/s and is reducing its speed at a rate of 1.5 m/s2. The automobile is accelerating at 2 m/s2 and has a speed of 25 m/s. Determine the velocity and acceleration of A with respect to B. The train is moving along a curve of radius

For a short time the position of a roller-coaster car along its path is defined by the equations r = 25 m,
= (0.3t) rad, and z = (-8 cos
) m, where t is measured in seconds, Determine the magnitudes of the car's velocity and acceleration when t = 4s.

Determine the acceleration of block A when the system is released. The coefficient of friction and the weight of each block are indicated in the figure. Neglect the mass of the pulleys and cords.

The block has a weight of 1.5 lb and slides along the smooth chute AB. It is released from rest at A, which has coordinates of A(5 ft, 0, 10 ft). Determine the speed at which it slides off at B, which has coordinates of B(0, 8 ft, 0).

A motor hoists a 50-kg crate at constant speed to a height of h = 6 m in 3 s. If the indicated power of the motor is 4 kw, determine the motor's efficiency.

A hockey puck is traveling to the left with a velocity of v1 = 10 m/s when it is struck by a hockey stick and given a velocity of v2 = 20 m/s as shown. Determine the magnitude of the net impulse exerted by the hockey stick on the puck. The puck has a mass of 0.2 kg.

If the 3-lb solid sphere is released from rest when
= 30°, determine its angular velocity when
= 0°, which is the lowest point of the curved path having a radius of 11.5 in. The sphere does not slip as it rolls.
= 15.17 rad/s
