Q: I The homogeneous 18 kg (180N) pulley is attached to the bar ABC with a (10)
pin at B as shown in Fig. 1. The mass of the bar is negligible. The cable
running over the pulley carries a tension of 600 N. Determine the
magnitudes of the support reactions at A and C.

Q: 2 Neglecting the weights of the members, determine the magnitude of the pin (10)
reaction at D when the frame is loaded by the 200 Nm couple load, shown
in Fig. 2.

Q: 3 Determine the maximum weight of the bucket that the wire system as (10)
shown in Fig. 3 can support so that no single wire develops a tension
 exceeding 100N. Also, identify the wire in which this maximum tension

Q: 4 Determine forces in each member of the truss loaded and supported as (10)
shown in Fig. 4. Also state whether the members are in tension or
compression. The mass of the suspended block is 400N. PUlt y
