Engineers Mechanics- 3D equilibrium Problem-2


The lever AB is welded to the bent rod BCD which is supported by bearing E and by cable DG. Assume that the bearing can exert thrusts along x, y, z directions and couples about axes parallel to the x and z axes. i. Obtain the tension in cable DG. ii. What would be the orientation of the cable for the tension in the cable DG to be minimum? Find the resulting tension in the cable. i. (a) 20lb (b) 20.8lb (c) 62.5lb (d) 74.8 lb ii.
