1- The cable AB prevents bar OA from rotating

clockwise about the pivot O. If the cable tension is 750

N, determine the n- and t-components of this force
acting on point A of the bar.

2- Elements of the lower arm are shown in the figure. The

mass of the forearm is 2.3 kg with mass center at G.
Determine the combined moment about the elbow pivot O
of the weights of the forearm and the 3.6-kg
homogeneous sphere. What must the biceps tension force
be so that the overall moment about O is zero?

3- The small crane is mounted along the side of

a pickup bed and facilitates the handling of
heavy loads. When the boom elevation angle is

= 40, the force in the hydraulic cylinder BC is

4.5 kN, and this force applied at point C is in the
direction from B to C (the cylinder is in
compression). Determine the moment of this
4.5-kN force about the boom pivot point O.

4- The spring of constant k = 2.6 kN/m is attached to the disk at point A and to the end fitting at
point B as shown. The spring is unstretched when and are both zero. If the disk is rotated
clockwise and the end fitting is rotated counterclockwise, determine a vector expression for the
force F which the spring exerts at point A. The magnitude of the spring force is the constant k
multiplied by the deflection (lengthening or shortening) of the spring.

5- In tightening a bolt whose center is at point O, a person exerts a 180-N force on the ratchet
handle with his right hand. In addition, with his left hand he exerts a 90-N force as shown in order
to secure the socket onto the bolt head. Determine the equivalent forcecouple system at O. Then
find the point in the x-y plane through which the line of action of the resultant force of the wrench
passes.
