Three children are struggling and pulling on a single toy. Two of the children, Abe and Barry, are EACH (individually) pulling with a force of 60 Newtons. The third child, Eric, is pulling with enough force to exactly balance Abe and Barry (no child is winning the tug-o-war for the toy). We can label our forces A, B, and E (from each child's name). These three forces are in equilibrium. If Abe is pulling toward the North and Barry is pulling toward the East, we want to find the total force R due to Abe and Barry (the Resultant of their forces). Note: in THIS case the two forces and R form a right-triangle (with R as the hypotenuse) - as seen using graphical vector addition. As a convention let's have NORTH upward and EAST rightward on this page.

a. Sketch an ACCURATE free-body diagram (three arrows outward from a point showing LABELED forces A, B, and E - each arrow a reasonable length and correct direction):
b. Sketch a labeled diagram for graphical addition of A and B to get R:
c. Show the calculation of the magnitude of R from the magnitudes of A and B:
d. Give the magnitude of force E (in units of Newtons):
e. Describe the direction of force E in terms of the "cardinal" directions (north, east, south, and/or west):

The rigid beam is supported by the three suspender bars. bars ab and ef are made of aluminum and bar cd is made of steel. if each bar has a cross-sectional area of 450 mm2, determine the maximum value of p if the allowable stress is (σallow)st = 200 mpa for the steel and ( σallow)al = 150 mpa for the aluminum. est = 200 gpa and eal = 70 gpa.
