Q-1
Q2: The loaded frame shown in Fig.1 is supported by pins at
C and D and a cable at A, The force in
the link BE in kN is nearly:
a. 30
  =

b. 40 Fig. 1
c. 43
d. 45 tan-1 = (2/5)
BE is two force member, Force E= Force B
in BE direction

Use member DEF E Ey= Ecos

 MD(CCW +), -20x12 + E(cos)x6 = 0.0

E =20x12/6cos  = 43 kN

Q3
Q4- Selection of the Member
For the loaded frame shown in the figure, the total force at pin joint C in N is around:
A) 300 B) 355 C) 600 D) 671
Solution:

From the free body diagram of member CE,


0.4 0.8
sin 𝜃 = = 0.447; cos 𝜃 = = 0.894
√0.42 + 0.82 √0.42 + 0.82
𝐶𝐶𝑊(+) Σ𝑀𝐶 = 0 ⇒ 𝑇𝐸𝐵 sin 𝜃 × 0.8 − 600 × 0.4 = 0 ⇒ 𝑇𝐸𝐵 sin 𝜃 = 300 N
300 300
⇒ 𝑇𝐸𝐵 = = ≈ 671 N (T)
sin 𝜃 0.447
300
→ (+) Σ𝐹𝑥 = 0 ⇒ 𝐶𝑥 − 𝑇𝐸𝐵 cos 𝜃 = 0 ⇒ 𝐶𝑥 = 𝑇𝐸𝐵 cos 𝜃 = × 0.894 = 600 N
0.447
↑ (+) Σ𝐹𝑦 = 0 ⇒ 𝐶𝑦 + 𝑇𝐸𝐵 sin 𝜃 − 600 = 0 ⇒ 𝐶𝑦 = 600 − 300 = 300 N

∴ 𝐶 = √𝐶𝑥2 + 𝐶𝑦2 = √6002 + 3002 = 670.8 N ≈ 671 N

Therefore, the correct answer is (d)
