⚡ Mecademy AIENG정역학 · ch3  Problem Statement The 800-lb tree trunk is known to have insect damage near point , so the winch arrangement shown is used to fell the tree with no cutting. If winch is tightened to and winch to , determine the force and moment reactions at . If the tree ultimately falls at this point because of the moment at , determine the angle which characterizes the line of impact . Assume that the base of the tree is equally strong in all directions. Problem 3/70 (a) Force and moment reactions at O 1. Formula: Establishing equilibrium at point : Coordinates: , , , , . 2. Substitution: Weight: Tension : Direction . Magnitude . Tension : Direction . Magnitude . 3.
