The basic features of a small backhoe are shown in the illustration. Member BE
(complete with hydraulic cylinder CD
and bucket-control links DF
and DE
) weighs 1500 lb with
mass center at G
1
. The bucket and its load of clay weigh 1000 lb with mass center at G
2
. To
disclose the operational design characteristics of the backhoe, determine and plot the force T
in
the hydraulic cylinder AB
as a function of the angular position θ
of member BE
over the range 0
≤ θ
≤ 90°. For what value of θ
is the force T
equal to zero? Member OH
is fixed for this exercise;
note that its controlling hydraulic cylinder (hidden) extends from near point O
to pin I
.
Similarly, the bucket-control hydraulic cylinder CD
is held at a fixed length.

The vertical pole, utility cable, and two guy wires from Prob. 3/83 are shown again here.
As part of a design study, the following conditions are considered. The tension T
2
is a constant
1000 N, and its 10° angle is fixed. The 10° angle for T
1
is also fixed, but the magnitude of T
1
is
allowed to vary from 0 to 2000 N. For that range of values of T
1
, determine and plot the
magnitude of the equal tensions T
in cables AD

and the angle θ
for which the moment at
O
will be zero. State the values of T
and θ
for T

Question 3
Two blocks, A and B, of mass m and 3m respectively, are connected through a cable
and a pulley (see figure 3.1). Block A is also attached to a spring, which is fixed to
the ground and has a spring constant k = 50 N/m. Block B is on an inclined plane
forming an angle of 30 degrees with the horizontal line. Block B is released from rest
with no slack in the cable and with the spring not being stretched or compressed.
Assign to m the value in kg of your body weight, then
(a) calculate the distance covered by block B once it stops for the first time;
assume that there is no friction.
(b) assume a kinetic friction force F = 5 N acts on block B and calculate the
distance covered by block B once it stops for the first time.
State any assumptions and comment on your solutions.
