Engineering Mechanics

  1. A mass 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


For block, T2 = mg = 343.35 N ...(i)

tan θ =
l25
= 27.44°
275

For bar, ∑MA = O
T1 × sin θ × l = T2 × l
⇒ T1 =
T2
sin θ

∴ T1 = 829.74 N
∑Fy = O
Ry – T2 + T1 sinθ = O
∴ Ry = O
∑Fx = O
Rx – T1 cosθ = O
Rx = 755.4 N
