Determine the reaction forces at A and B 50 N 50 N 2n 80 N 160 N 240 N 15 N 30 N 60 N We have studied static equilibrium of forces acting at a common point, and static equilibrium of forces not...
ements Constants ents SOLUTION We will look at an example where several forces are acting on an object, but in this case the forces are not all along the same axis. As shown in (Figure 1), a car engine with weight to hangs from a chain that is linked at point to two other chains, one fastened to the ceiling and the other to the wall. Find the tension in each of the three chains, assuming that is given and...
