EXAMPLE
Given:The cable of the tower crane is
subjected to 840 N force. A
fixed base at A supports the
crane.
Find: Reactions at the fixed base A.
Plan:
a) Establish the x, y and z axes.
b) Draw a FBD of the crane.
c) Write the forces using Cartesian vector notation.
d) Apply the equations of equilibrium (vector version) to solve
17
for the unknown forces.
EXAMPLE (continued)
r BC = {12 i + 8 j 24 k} m
F = F [uBC ] N
= 840 [12 i + 8 j 24 k] / (122 + 82 + ( 242 ))
= {360 i + 24 j 720 k} N
FA = {AX i + AY j + AZ k } N

HOMEWORK TUTORIAL
Q1 (5-64) :
The wing of the jet aircraft is subjected to thrust T from its engine and
the resultant lift force L. If the mass of the wing is M and the mass
center is at G, determine the x, y, z components of reaction where the
wing is fixed to the fuselage at A.

Q2 (5-66) :
The air-conditioning unit is hoisted to the roof of a building using the
three cables. If the tensions in the cables are TA,TB and TC, determine
the weight of the unit and the location (x, y) of its center of gravity G.

HOMEWORK TUTORIAL (continued)
Q3 (5-64) :
Due to an unequal distribution of fuel in the wing tanks, the centers of
gravity for the airplane fuselage A and wings B and C are located as
shown. If these components have weights WA, WB and WC, determine
the normal reactions of the wheels D, E, and F on the ground.
