In problem number 2, what is the distance of CG of package A to the CG of package C?
Design Against Fluctuating Loads
Machine elements are subjected to varieties of loads, some components are subjected to static loads, while some machine components are subjected to fluctuating loads, whose load magnitude tends to fluctuate. The components of a machine, when rotating at a high speed, are subjected to a high degree of load, which fluctuates from a high value to a low value. For the machine elements under the action of static loads, static failure theories are applied to know the safe and hazardous working conditions and regions. However, most of the machine elements are subjected to variable or fluctuating stresses, due to the nature of load that fluctuates from high magnitude to low magnitude. Also, the nature of the loads is repetitive. For instance, shafts, bearings, cams and followers, and so on.
Design Against Fluctuating Load
Stress is defined as force per unit area. When there is localization of huge stresses in mechanical components, due to irregularities present in components and sudden changes in cross-section is known as stress concentration. For example, groves, keyways, screw threads, oil holes, splines etc. are irregularities.

![PROBLEM NUMBER 2:
Make an illustration for this problem and label it completely. This lever has a fulcrum that they will balance
from the middle of the beam. There were 5 boxes on this beam and it had a total weight of 2,158 pound
and had a length on each side of 10 feet from the middle. The Package A weighs 360 pounds and it is
located at the right Most Part of the lever and its CG was located 5 inches from the edge. The Package B
weighs 400 pounds and its CG was located 115 inches from package A and going to the middle of the
beam. Package C weighs 400 pounds and its arm measured 70 inches from the right of datum. Package E
was placed accordingly to balance this lever because the package D was situated opposite from package
A and with 60 pounds difference. Complete the needed value on this balance beam.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fc9397921-b1d6-49d2-a5b5-c7efb5773ded%2Fdec8224c-8069-4154-b515-5c078a8e050b%2F9pwh5qi_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
