Problem 4(10 pts)
Consider Fig. 4 and assume W is known. The rope attached to the wall is guided without friction through K. You can think of it as a frictionless pulley.
(a) Draw the free-body diagram at point K.(Note there are more than four forces).(3 pts)
(b) Express all the forces as vectors in the reference frame E{hat(e)1,hat(e)2,hat(e)3}.(4 pts)
(c) Find the magnitude of the forces in the bars and state whether they are working in tension or compression. (3 pts)
