ID:Name: Problem:

The uniform load has a mass of

600 kg and is lifted using a

uniform 30-kg strongback beam

and four wire ropes as shown.

Determine the tension in each

segment of rope and the force that

must be applied to the sling at A.

ID:Name: Problem:

The symmetrical shelf is

subjected to a uniform load of

4 kPa. Support is provided by

a bolt (or pin) located at each

end A and A’ and by the

symmetrical brace arms,

which bear against the smooth

wall on both sides at B and

Determine the force resisted

by each bolt at the wall and

the normal force at B for

equilibrium.
