Horizontal beam AB is 200 kg, 2.4 m long, and is welded at point A. The man is 80 kg and applies a tension of 300 N on the cable. Diameter of the pulley is 300 mm and BC = 300 mm. Determine: (a) horizontal and vertical components of force at A,
(b) magnitude and direction of the moment supported at A.

Explanation:

a) - In Free-body diagram :

At point D, the free body diagram of a man :

Then, put the value in the equation.

b)-

work: w = fd (given)

work done by chet   =50*1 = 50 j

work done by mika =40*2 = 80 j

work done by sara =30*1.5 = 45 j

work done by bill =60*0.5 = 30 j

students in order from the greatest amount of work done to the least is mika> chet> sara> bill

hence option (b) is correct.
