Tick Boxes to check that you
solved all questions
The four forces shown in Figure I are concurrent at point O. ¥F; lies in a vertical plane that
makes an angle of 50 degrees with the Y-axis; F> is in the X-Z plane; F; is a vertical force; and
Fis in the Y-Z plane.
1. Compute the resultant force in Cartesian vector notation. (/3 points) La
Calculate the magnitude and direction of the resultant force, and sketch it on the figure a
above. (7 points)

Problem EI: (20 points)
Figure I
The cables system suspends the cylinder in the equilibrium position shown in Figure II.
1. Ifthe weight of the cylinder is 600 N, compute the tension forces in each of the cables. (12
points)
2. Evaluate the system if the maximum tension that each of the cables can carry is 700 N
(explain in 2-3 lines maximum). In this case, what is the maximum cylinder weight that the
system can carry. (8 points)

Problem IV: (35 points)
Figure IV
Two cables and a spring are connected at point A as shown in Figure IV. The spring has a
stiffness of 4,000 N/m. Determine the maximum values of the forces P and @ that can be
applied at A in the directions shown, if the maximum displacement that the spring can
withstand before failing is 100 mm, and the maximum tension that each cable can support
before failing is 500 N. (Hint: Start by maximizing Q, and then move to maximizing P).
