Question
a_ draw FBD
b_ solve for the forces acting in all three cables and the ball and socket joint which support the L_ shaped bar?
2) An oddly shaped bar ABCF. is in equilibrium in the x-z plane. The length of the bar from A to is LI, and the length of the bar from B to C is L2, and the length of the bar from C to b. is L. A vertical load, P is applied to point G along the portion of the bar parallel to the x axis at a distance of L4 from point B. The bar is then held in equilibrium by a hall and socket joint at A, and three cables. Two cables RI) and CD arc secured to point D on the wall in the y-z plane, while cable EF is secured to point F on the wall in the xy plane. The weight of the I. shaped bar is negligible compared to the load. a) Draw a fully labeled FBD for the L shaped bar. [3 points] a_ draw FBD b_ solve for the forces acting in all three cables and the ball and socket joint which support the L_ shaped bar?
