Strength Of Materials

  1. A mass of 35 kg is suspended from a weightless bar AB which is supported by a cable CB and a pin at A as shown in figure. The pin reactions at A on the bar AB are
    1. Rx = 343.4 N, Ry =755.4 N
    2. Rx = 343.4 N, Ry = 0
    3. Rx = 755.4 N, Ry = 343.4 N
    4. Rx = 755.4 N, Ry = 0
Correct Option: D

cosθ =
125
302

⇒  θ = 65.5°
Resolving the forces vertically,

35 × 9.81 = T cos 65.5°
or T = 830 N
Ry = 0
Resolving the forces horizontally,
T sin 65.5° = Rx
or 830 × 0.91 = Rx
or Rx = 755.4 N
