Problem 13E

Find the tension $$T$$ in each cable and the magnitude and direction of the force exerted on the strut by the pivot in each of the arrangements in Fig. E11.13. In each case let $$w$$ be the weight of the suspended crate full of priceless art objects. The strut is uniform and also has weight $$w$$. Start each case with a free-body diagram of the strut.

Step-by-Step Solution:

Step 1 of 5

(a)

The free-body diagram is as follows:

The net torque at the pivot is given by:

$$\sum \tau=T L \sin 30^{\circ}-w L / 2 \cos 30^{\circ}-w L \cos 30^{\circ}=0$$

$$T \sin 30^{\circ}-\frac{3}{2} w \cos 30^{\circ}=0$$

$$T \sin 30^{\circ}=\frac{3}{2} \cos 30^{\circ}$$

$$T=\frac{3}{2} w \cot 30^{\circ}$$

$$T=2.6 w$$
