2. The asymmetric roof truss (Figure 1) is of the type used when a near normal angle of incidence of sunlight onto the south facing surface ABC is desirable for solar energy purposes. The five vertical loads represent the effects of the weights of the truss and supported roofing materials. The 400 N load represents the effect of wind pressure. Determine the equivalent force couple system at A. Also compute the x intercept of the line of action of the system resultant treated as a single fo

Clutches, Brakes, Couplings, and Flywheels

The clutch is described as a machine element used to connect or disconnect two shafts together to transmit torque or power. The clutch works on the principles of friction. The clutch is commonly used in automobiles to transfer power from the driving shaft to the driven shaft.
