Problem 3. (14/60) A 30 kg cover for a roof-opening

is hinged at corners A and B. The roof forms an angle of 300 with the horizontal, and the cover is maintainedin a horizontal position by the braceCEo Determine: (a) The magnitudeof the force exerted by the brace CE, (b) The reactionsat the hingesA & B. Assumethat the hinge at A doesnot exert any axialthrust. ~e,,=,

Problem 4. (14/60) BlockA in the sketch hasa mass

of 20 kg and is attached to the wall by meansof a cord at an angleof 600with the vertical, while block B has a mass of 40 kg. The coefficient of static friction betweenA and B is 0.2, while the coefficient of static friction between B and the floor is 0.3. Determine the minimum force P required to cause BlockB to slide (i.e. Motion impending).

Problem S. (10/60) A ball is thrown from the top of a 20m high tower with an initial velocity of Va= 10

m/s in the direction shown. (a) Determine the x and y coordinates of the point at which the ball strikesthe slope. (b) Determine the velocity of the ball at the point at which it strikesthe slope.
