A
door of uniform thickness and of weight
300
N
measures
,
A.
being
0.25
m from the
ttom of the door and capable
vertical reactions, The hinge
is
0.25
m
from the to
vertical support. When th oor is erected, the hi
not placed vertically above
A,
so
that when the door is closed the top corner
C
is
20
mm
out
of
the vertical through corner
D.
%at force, acting perpendicular to the door at the
mid-height
E
of the front edge, is required
to
hold the door open after it has turned
45"
from the closed position?
20
mm
is
I
.5
m square and weighs
2
kN.
It is suspended by rhree chains
d Min the walls of a room which is
4
m
square.
Hoo
f the room and are nearest to corners
A
and respectively of the
he middle of the wall opposite
A'B
',
and is
in the plate which. is the mid-point of
CD.
The hooks are all at the
floor.
Chains co~nect
A,
B
and
M
with
A',
'
are each
2
m long, while
MM'
is
2.5
m
re interested in co~putational methods may like to solve the problem
is increased in length to
2.5
