Question 2) The figure shows a mechanical model of the Russel fracture traction device and the leg. The leg is held in balance in the position indicated by the two weights attached to the two cables. The combined weight of the leg and the cast is W=210 N. The horizontal distance between points A and B where the cables are attached to the leg is L=100 cm and the vertical distance is d=6 cm. Point C is the center of gravity of the cast and leg at three quarters of the L measured from point A (3L/4= 75 cm). The angle that cable 2 makes with the horizontal is measured as β=33°. Accordingly, in order for the leg to remain in balance in the shown position; a) Find the tensile force T1 in cable 1. (Write your result in N) b) Find the tensile force T2 in cable 2.

1., A beam rests on a fulcrum, 1.2 m from one end. A weight of 350kg is suspended from this end causing the beam to balance. If the weight of 350 kg is suspended on the opposite end of the beam, it is necessary to suspend a 1000 kg weight on the first end in order to effect an even balance. Find the length of the beam.
An eye bolt is used to attach 3 cables to a steel plate. The tension in the three cables create F1=200 lbf, F2=250 lbf, and F3=100 Ibf with 0 = 30 degrees and p=44 degrees. If the eye bolt is in equilibrium, what is the y-component of the sum of other forces on the bolt (force from the nut and plate on the bolt) ? If you add up %3D the three force vectors, the sum other force you are looking for will just be in the opposite direction to put the eye bolt in equilibrium. The y-direction is positive going up. For example, if you find the sum of forces 1, 2, and 3 are 100 Ibf going up, then the other forces in the y-direction must be pointing to the down (-100 lbf) to put the eye bolt in equilibrium.
