Question: Q . 3 ) A winch ( pulley with applied torque ) at D is used to raise the load W = 2 8 0

Q.3) A winch (pulley with applied torque) at D is used to raise the load W=2800lb by applying
a constant torque, MD. A horizontal force of 1200 lb acts at joint G and a vertical load of 500 lb
acts at joint E. The structure is supported by a
roller support at H and a pin support at I. The
radii of winch D and pulley A are each 2 feet.
Assume friction is negligible between the cable
and the pulley. Assume all members of the
structure have negligible mass. Assume points
A,E, and F are collinear.
a) Determine the torque MD required to
raise the load at a constant velocity.
b) Determine the forces in members FH,
FG,EF and DG. State whether each
member is in tension or compression.
