Chapter 4.1, Problem 4.37P
A 160-lb overhead garage door consists of a uniform rectangular panel AC, 84 in. long, supported by the cable AE attached at middle of the upper edge of the door and by two sets of frictionless rollers at A and B. Each set consists of two rollers located on either side of the door. The rollers A are free to horizontal channels, while the rollers B are guided by vertical channels. If the door is held in the position for which BD = 42 determine (a) the tension in cable AE, (b) the reaction at each the four rollers.

Let us model the illustrated crusher as a planar mechanism that is subjected to the pushing force P on the
lower "L-shaped" handle, i.e. link CDE. Note that link CDE is one solid piece, pinned at D and E. Knowing that
the orange horizontal member AB has a square peg at A that slides vertically in the slot on the blue frame,
that the can is centered under the pin at B and that P = 60 N, 0 = 15°, 6 = 10°, a = 60 mm, b = 230
mm, c = 60 mm, and d = 25 mm, determine the force magnitude F in N exerted on the can from the
mechanism.
