Problem 360
Referring to Problem 359, what value of T acting at x = 1 m from B will keep the bar horizontal.
 

Problem 359
A 4-m bar of negligible weight rests in a horizontal position on the smooth planes shown in Fig. P-359. Compute the distance x at which load T = 10 kN should be placed from point B to keep the bar horizontal.
 

Problem 358
A bar AE is in equilibrium under the action of the five forces shown in Fig. P-358. Determine P, R, and T.
 

Problem 357
The uniform rod in Fig. P-357 weighs 420 lb and has its center of gravity at G. Determine the tension in the cable and the reactions at the smooth surfaces at A and B.
 

Problem 356
The cantilever truss shown in Fig. P-356 is supported by a hinge at A and a strut BC. Determine the reactions at A and B.
 

Problem 355
Determine the reactions at A and B on the Fink truss shown in Fig. P-355. Members CD and FG are respectively perpendicular to AE and BE at their midpoints.
