PROBLEM 2.

97
For the semicircular ring of Problem 2.91, determine the magnitude and
direction of the resultant of the forces exerted by the cables at B knowing
that the tensions in cables BD and BE are 220 N and 250 N, respectively.

SOLUTION

For the solutions to Problems 2.91 and 2.92, we have


TBD = − (120 N ) i + (140 N ) j + (120 N ) k

TBE = − (120 N ) i + (150 N ) j − (160 N ) k

Then:
R B = TBD + TBE

= − ( 240 N ) i + ( 290 N ) j − ( 40 N ) k

and R = 378.55 N RB = 379 N

PROBLEM 2.98
To stabilize a tree partially uprooted in a storm, cables AB and AC are
attached to the upper trunk of the tree and then are fastened to steel rods
anchored in the ground. Knowing that the tension in AB is 920 lb and that
the resultant of the forces exerted at A by cables AB and AC lies in the yz
plane, determine (a) the tension in AC, (b) the magnitude and direction of
the resultant of the two forces.

SOLUTION
Have
TAB = ( 920 lb )( sin 50° cos 40°i − cos 50° j + sin 50° sin 40° j)

TAC = TAC ( − cos 45° sin 25°i − sin 45° j + cos 45° cos 25° j)

(a)
R A = TAB + TAC

( RA ) x =0

∴ ( RA ) x = ΣFx = 0: ( 920 lb ) sin 50° cos 40° − TAC cos 45° sin 25° = 0
or
TAC = 1806.60 lb TAC = 1807 lb
(b)

( RA ) y = ΣFy : − ( 920 lb ) cos 50° − (1806.60 lb ) sin 45°

( RA ) y = −1868.82 lb

( RA ) z = ΣFz : ( 920 lb ) sin 50° sin 40° + (1806.60 lb ) cos 45° cos 25°
( RA ) z = 1610.78 lb

∴ RA = − (1868.82 lb ) j + (1610.78 lb ) k

Then:
RA = 2467.2 lb RA = 2.47 kips

PROBLEM 2.99
To stabilize a tree partially uprooted in a storm, cables AB and AC are
attached to the upper trunk of the tree and then are fastened to steel rods
anchored in the ground. Knowing that the tension in AC is 850 lb and that
the resultant of the forces exerted at A by cables AB and AC lies in the yz
plane, determine (a) the tension in AB, (b) the magnitude and direction of
the resultant of the two forces.

SOLUTION
Have
TAB = TAB ( sin 50° cos 40°i − cos 50° j + sin 50° sin 40° j)

TAC = ( 850 lb )( − cos 45° sin 25°i − sin 45° j + cos 45° cos 25° j)

(a)

( RA ) x =0

∴ ( RA ) x = ΣFx = 0: TAB sin 50° cos 40° − ( 850 lb ) cos 45° sin 25° = 0

TAB = 432.86 lb TAB = 433 lb


(b)

( RA ) y = ΣFy : − ( 432.86 lb ) cos 50° − ( 850 lb ) sin 45°

( RA ) y = −879.28 lb

( RA ) z = ΣFz : ( 432.86 lb ) sin 50° sin 40° + (850 lb ) cos 45° cos 25°
( RA ) z = 757.87 lb

∴ R A = − ( 879.28 lb ) j + ( 757.87 lb ) k

PROBLEM 2.100
For the plate of Problem 2.89, determine the tension in cables AB and AD
knowing that the tension if cable AC is 27 lb and that the resultant of the
forces exerted by the three cables at A must be vertical.

SOLUTION
With:
JJJG
AC = ( 45 in.) i − ( 48 in.) j + ( 36 in.) k

AC = ( 45 in.)2 + ( −48 in.)2 + ( 36 in.)2 = 75 in.


JJJG
AC 27 lb
TAC = TAC λ AC = TAC = ( 45 in.) i − ( 48 in.) j + ( 36 in.) k 
AC 75 in. 
TAC = (16.2 lb ) i − (17.28 lb ) j + (12.96 ) k

and
JJJG
AB = − ( 32 in.) i − ( 48 in.) j + ( 36 in.) k

AB = ( −32 in.)2 + ( −48 in.)2 + ( 36 in.)2 = 68 in.


JJJG
AB T

AB 68 in. 
TAB = TAB ( −0.4706i − 0.7059 j + 0.5294k )
and
JJJG
AD = ( 25 in.) i − ( 48 in.) j − ( 36 in.) k

AD = ( 25 in.)2 + ( −48 in.)2 + ( 36 in.)2 = 65 in.


JJJG

PROBLEM 2.100 CONTINUED

Now
R = TAB + TAD + TAD

= TAB ( −0.4706i − 0.7059 j + 0.5294k ) + (16.2 lb ) i − (17.28 lb ) j + (12.96 ) k 

+ TAD ( 0.3846i − 0.7385 j − 0.5538k )

Since R must be vertical, the i and k components of this sum must be zero.
Hence:
−0.4706TAB + 0.3846TAD + 16.2 lb = 0 (1)

0.5294TAB − 0.5538TAD + 12.96 lb = 0 (2)


Solving (1) and (2), we obtain:
TAB = 244.79 lb, TAD = 257.41 lb

TAB = 245 lb

TAD = 257 lb
