⚡ Mecademy AIENG정역학 · ch3  Problem Statement Each of the three uniform 1200-mm bars has a mass of 20 kg. The bars are welded together into the configuration shown and suspended by three vertical wires. Bars AB and BC lie in the horizontal x-y plane, and the third bar lies in a plane parallel to the x-z plane. Compute the tension in each wire. Problem 3/98 (a) Determination of tensions in the supporting wires ● Calculation Process 1. Establish Coordinate System and Identify Key Points: Let the junction point where the three bars meet be the origin . The horizontal bars lie along the and axes. According to the diagram: Attachment points of vertical wires: Point is at the end of the bar along the -axis: Point is at the junction: Point is in the middle of the bar along the -axis: Centers of mass of the three 20-kg bars: Bar 1 (along -axis): Bar 2 (along -axis): Bar 3 (in plane, from vertical): Its midpoint has coordinates , , and .
