PROBLEM 2.124
Knowing that the tension in cable AE of Prob. 2.123 is 75 lb,
determine (a) the magnitude of the load P, (b) the tension in
cables BAC and AD.
PROBLEM 2.123 Cable BAC passes through a frictionless
ring A and is attached to fixed supports at B and C, while
cables AD and AE are both tied to the ring and are attached,
respectively, to supports at D and E. Knowing that a 200-lb
vertical load P is applied to ring A, determine the tension in
each of the three cables.
PROBLEM 2.125
Collars A and B are connected by a 525-mm-long wire and
can slide freely on frictionless rods. If a force
(341 N)=Pj
is applied to collar A, determine (a) the
tension in the wire when y
155 mm,=
(b) the magnitude
of the force Q required to maintain the equilibrium of the
system.
