Following Todays Lecture you should be able to:
1) Write Newtons 2nd law for the case of static equilibrium of particles.
2) Set up and find the forces needed to give static equilibrium of a particle.

At this point we can see that FC < FB, so let FB = 780 lbf and then
calculate the other forces.

This clearly shows the rope holding the weight exceeds 780 lb, so
redo the calculations letting W = 780 lb.

Example 3
The 40 N collar A can slide on a frictionless vertical rod and is
attached as shown to a spring. The spring is unstretched when
h = 300 mm. Knowing that the constant of the spring is 560 N/m,
determine the value of h for which the system is in equilibrium.

Since L2 and d are related by

we finally get a single equation with a single variable, but it's not fun to solve being
nonlinear in form.

Therefore:
