Question 51
MENAT2 marksNeeds review
A rigid beam AD of length
m is hinged at frictionless pin joint A and supported by two strings as shown in the figure. String BC passes over two small frictionless pulleys of negligible radii. All the strings are made of the same material and have equal cross-sectional area. A force
kN is applied at C and the resulting stresses in the strings are within linear elastic limit. The self-weight of the beam is negligible with respect to the applied load. Assuming small deflections, the tension developed in the string at C is ________ kN (round off to 2 decimal places).
