Equilibrium Problems

Problem 1: Equilibrium
Given the force system acting on the beam. Determine the magnitude and direction of the force C required to put the system into equilibrium.
(A = 100 Kips, B== 20 Kips)

Problem 2 : Equilibrium
Given the system indicated with three individuals (A,B,C).
If A weighs 65 pounds, B 85 pounds and C weighs 85 pounds. Where does A need to sit in order to achieve equilibrium if b = 3 feet and d = 5 feet?
