A crate with dimensions l = 0.50 m and h = 0.75 m rests on a plane that is inclined by θ = 30◦ from the horizontal. The crate is in equilibrium, but if the crate were too tall, it will fall over down the slope. Find the effective point of application of the normal force on the crate, i.e., where is the normal force acting on the crate, keeping the crate in equilibrium? Hint: choose the crate’s center of mass as the axis of rotation.

The center of gravity of the nonhomogeneous bar AB is located at G. Find the angle at which the bar will be in equilibrium if it is free to slide on the frictionless cylindrical surface.
The bar ABC is supported by three identical, ideal springs. Note that the springs are always vertical because the collars to which they are attached are free to slide on the horizontal rail. Find the angle at equilibrium if W = kL. Neglect the weight of the bar.
The 14-kN weight is suspended from a small pulley that is free to roll on the cable. The length of the cable ABC is 20 m. Determine the horizontal force P that would hold the pulley in equilibrium in the position x=5m.
