⚡ Mecademy AIENG정역학 · ch2  Problem Statement 2/67 Replace the two cable tensions which act on the pulley at of the beam trolley by two parallel forces which act at the track-wheel connections and . Given values from the diagram: Horizontal distance between track-wheel and the central vertical axis: Horizontal distance between track-wheel and the central vertical axis: Horizontal distance between the two vertical cables acting on the pulley: Force in the left cable: (vertically downward) Force in the right cable: (vertically downward) Problem 2/67 1. Analyze the original force system The original system consists of two vertical downward forces acting on the pulley at . We need to determine the resultant force and the resultant moment about the center point (which lies on the vertical centerline of the trolley). Resultant Vertical Force (): Resultant Moment about (): Assuming the pulley is symmetric about the vertical centerline, the left cable is at and the right cable is at (since the total spacing is ). Let counter-clockwise (CCW) be positive: 2.

This means they must have the sam
