PROBLEM 6.126
An 84-lb force is applied to the toggle vise at C. Knowing that θ = 90°,
determine (a) the vertical force exerted on the block at D, (b) the force
exerted on member ABC at B.
SOLUTION
We note that BD is a two-force member.
Free body: Member ABC:
BD = (7) 2 + (24)2 = 25 in.
We have

PROBLEM 6.143
A small barrel weighing 60 lb is lifted by a pair of tongs as shown. Knowing
that a = 5 in., determine the forces exerted at B and D on tong ABD.

We note that BC is a two-force member.
Free body: Tong ABD:

Bx = 3By
ΣM D = 0: By (3 in.) + 3By (5 in.) − (60 lb)(9 in.) = 0

Bx = 3By : Bx = 90 lb
ΣFx = 0: −90 lb + Dx = 0
D x = 90 lb
ΣFy = 0: 60 lb − 30 lb − D y = 0
D y = 30 lb
