Mechanics - Static Equilibrium
Not what you're looking for?
A load of 100 kN is supported by a crane as shown in the figure attached. DAE is the cable which passes over a smooth pulley at A. Draw a free-body diagram of the pulley A and hence find the forces in the cable, the tie AC and the jib AB of the crane. Assume that the diameter of the pulley and the weight of the jib are both negligible.
