The structure has two frictionless pulleys around which a string is wrapped. If W=56lb, determine a force system that is equivalent to the forces applied by the string, where this force system consists of a single force, and specify the x coordinate of the point where the force's line of action intersects the x axis. (Round the final answers to four decimal places. Do not include a minus sign in your response.) The value of (FR?)x of the equivalent force system is lb? The value of (FR?)y of the equivalent force system is Ib ?. The x coordinate of the point where the equivalent force's line of action intersects the x axis is in.
Let us first draw the free-body diagram, as shown below.The free-body diagram on the coordinate axis is shown above. With respect to the origin the position coordinate of point A is and B is .
