PROBLEM 2. (20 points)
GIVEN:
A hot air balloon is suspended 3 feet above the ground,
and is held in place by three cables, attached at ring A.
The balloon exerts an upward force on ring A.
Cable AD
runs parallel to the x-axis, and has a tension of 84.0 lbs.
FIND:
a)
On the axes provided, draw a free body diagram of ring A.
(4 pts)
b)
Write vector expressions for the forces in cables AB and AC
in terms of their unknown magnitudes and their known unit
vectors.
(6 pts)
c)
Using your equations of static equilibrium, determine the magnitude of the forces in cables AB and
AC, and the magnitude of the upward force from the balloon.
