Answer:
Tension in cable BE= 196.2 N
Reactions A and D both are 73.575 N
Explanation:
The free body diagram is as attached sketch. At equilibrium, sum of forces along y axis will be 0 hence
hence

Therefore, tension in the cable, 
Taking moments about point A, with clockwise moments as positive while anticlockwise moments as negative then



Similarly,


Therefore, both reactions at A and D are 73.575 N
Given:
diameter of sphere, d = 6 inches
radius of sphere, r =
= 3 inches
density,
= 493 lbm/ 
S.G = 1.0027
g = 9.8 m/
= 386.22 inch/ 
Solution:
Using the formula for terminal velocity,
=
(1)

where,
V = volume of sphere
= drag coefficient
Now,
Surface area of sphere, A = 
Volume of sphere, V = 
Using the above formulae in eqn (1):
= 
=
= 
Therefore, terminal velcity is given by:
=
inch/sec
You always need some company
Metering valves. These valves should be initially adjusted to provide adequate lubrication to each location
