1. (24 pt) A mechanism is design to compress the spring at E. The applied force P is 40 lb. a) Draw free-body-diagrams of members ABE, BDG and CD. b) Determine the compressive force in member CD and forces at joint B. c) Determine the compressive force on the spring at point E. 6 in. 6 in-4 in. 6 in. + 24 in. 30 A D G 1b. (6 pts) The exercise frame is bolted to the floor (fixed support) at A and pined at B. Draw three (3) detail and complete free-body diagrams of member AC, CDEG (you can take pulleys with it) and BE. (don't forget Newton 3rd law). No need for equations or answers.
