Tutorial on 2D equilibrium

Problem 1

The frame supports part of the roof of a small building. The tension in the cable is 150 kN. Determine the reactions at the fixed end E.

Problem 2

The uniform beam has an o erall length of !m and a mass of "00kg. The force P applied to the hoisting cable is slo#l$ increased to raise the ring C% the t#o &'m ropes AC and BC% and the beam. (ompute the tensions in the ropes at A and B #hen the beam is clear of its supports and the force P is equal to the #eight of the beam
