2/12 The guy cables AB and AC are attached to the top of the transmission tower. The tension in cable AB is 8kN. Determine the required tension T in cable AC such that the net effect of the two cable tensions is a downward force at point A. Determine the magnitude R of this downward force. 2/16 A force F of magnitude 800N is applied to point C of the bar AB as shown. Determine both the x−y and the n−t components of F. 2/26 It is desined to remove the spike from the timber by applying force along its horizontal axis. An obstruction A prevents direct access, so that two forces, one 1.6kN and the other P, are applied by cables as shown. Compute the magnitude of P necessary to ensure a resultant T directed along the spike. Also find T. 2/40 A man exerts a force F on the handle of the stationary wheelbarrow at A. The mass of the wheelbarrow along with its load of dirt is 85kg with center of mass at G. For the configuration shown, what force F must the man apply at A to make the net moment about the tire contact point B equal to zero?
