2a. What are the horizontal (RAX&RBX) and vertical (RAY&RBy) reactions at the supports for a cable camying two point-loads? Assume that the cable has sags of 15ft&21ft as indicated below. ∑∑RAx=RBx=RAy=R8y= Which cable segment has the greatest tension? AC CD DB What is the tension in that segment?
2b. Determine the reactions (RA&RB) at the two supports and draw the Shear Force (SFD) and Bending Moment (BMD) diagrams for the beam below. What is the mnximt im Share Fnrra and meximu im Randinn Mnmant?
2c. Using the Method of Sections: Determine the forces in truss members: FNM,FNO&FCO.
To solve this problem, we can use the equations of equilibrium, which state that the sum of forces and moments acting on a system must be equal to zero. We can start by drawing a diagram of the beam and the loads acting on it:We can see that the beam is divided into three segments: AC, CD, and BD. We will analyze each segment separately.Segment AC:The point load of 15 kips at C creates a vertical reaction force of 15 kips at A and a horizontal reaction force of 0 at A and B.Segment CD:
