Problem 346 | Equilibrium of Non-Concurrent Force System

Problem 346
A boom AB is supported in a horizontal position by a hinge A and a cable which runs from C over a small pulley at D as shown in Fig. P-346. Compute the tension T in the cable and the horizontal and vertical components of the reaction at A. Neglect the size of the pulley at D.

Equilibrium of Non-Concurrent Force System

There are three equilibrium conditions that can be used for non-concurrent, non-parallel force system.
 

The sum of all forces in the x-direction or horizontal is zero.

$\Sigma F_x = 0$   or   $\Sigma F_H = 0$

 

Equilibrium of Parallel Force System

Conditions for Equilibrium of Parallel Forces
The sum of all the forces is zero.

$\Sigma F = 0$

 

The sum of moment at any point O is zero.

$\Sigma M_O = 0$

 

Problem 343 | Equilibrium of Parallel Force System

Problem 343
The weight W of a traveling crane is 20 tons acting as shown in Fig. P-343. To prevent the crane from tipping to the right when carrying a load P of 20 tons, a counterweight Q is used. Determine the value and position of Q so that the crane will remain in equilibrium both when the maximum load P is applied and when the load P is removed.
