Question

A log that weighs 3600 lb and is 30 ft long is being hoisted by a cable that passes over two pulleys, as shown in the picture. In the position shown, the cable from the log to the first pulley is vertical, and the log is inclined at an angle of 30 degrees to the ground. Assume that neither the ground nor the block at A provides any moment restraint, and neglect the radial distance from the center of the log to the two points of contact at A. (a) determine the tension in the cable and the reaction force at end A and (b) determine the internal resultants at cross section C at the midpoint of the log.

Explanation / Answer

as u have not posted the question completely i don't know what is to be find but in every problem the common steps are given below .. if u like my answer rate me first :) :) and please complete question again i will try to solve it 1) balance force in x and y direction 2) balance moment about any point in the figure ( most convinient one )
