Sample Problem 1. An engine with weight w hangs from a chain that is linked at a point O to two other chains, one is connected to the ceiling and the other one to the wall. Find the tension in each of the three chains, assuming that w is given and the weights of the chains are negligible. Fren ty agram of ergine h m of ring O Fre toty Solution: Ti is equal to weight w. The horizontal and slanted chains don't exert forces on the engine itself but they are connected on the ring where the three chains join. The weight of the ring itself is negligible. T, Ta, and Ty are the magnitudes of the forces while their directions are shown in the free-body diagram. Take note that the downward force with magnitude Ti of the chain acting on the engine are not an action-reaction pair. Using the x and y-components, we find that EFx 0, Ta cos 70 + (-Ta)-0 EF,-0, Ts sin 70' + (-T)-0 Because T-w, we can rewrite the second equation as: T3-T1/sin 70- w/ sin 70-0.940w We can now use this equation in the…
