DISCUSSION

Hints:

• In solving, it is suggested that you start out with the FBD of the pulley to find the reactions on the pulley at its center K. Note that you do NOT need to know the physical size of the pulley to find these reactions.
• After that, move through the solution using the equilibrium equations in the order of: Joint K, Joint H, Joint D, and Joint C.
