The 15-lb bar BC is connected to a disk centered at A, and to a bar DC. If the disk is made to rotate at a constant speed of 180 rpm, determine the vertical components of the force exerted on bar BC at B and at C.
The hand brake for a bicycle is shown. Portions DE and FG are free to rotate on bolt A which is screwed into the frame BC of the bicycle. The brake is actuated by a shielded cable where T1 is applied to point E and T2 is applied to point G. A spring having 40 N compressive force is placed between points E and G so that the brake stays open when it is not being used. Assume the change in the spring's force is negligible when the brake is actuated to produce the F = 100 N forces at points D and F. Determine the necessary cable forces T1 in N.

In order to unscrew the tapped faucet A , a plumber uses two pipe wrenches as shown. By exerting a 40-lb force on each wrench at a distance of 10 in. from the axis of the pipe and in a direction perpendicular to the pipe and to the wrench, he prevents the pipe from rotating, and thus he avoids loosening or further tightening the joint between the pipe and the tapped elbow C . Determine (a) the angle 0 that the wrench at A should form with the vertical if elbow C is not to rotate about the vertical, (b) the force-couple system at C equivalent to the two 40-lb forces when this condition is satisfied.
