To determine

The radius y as a function of x.

Answer to Problem 1RP

The radius y as a function of x is [4Pπσallowx]13_

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The force is P.

Calculation:

Sketch the free body diagram of cantilever beam as shown in Figure 1:

MECHANICS OF MATERIALS, Chapter 11, Problem 1RP , additional homework tip  1

Let, M is the moment acting cantilever beam and V is the shear force.

Consider the length is x.

Refer to Figure 1:

Calculate the shear force as follows:

V=wx

Calculate the moment as shown below:

M=wx×x2=wx22

Sketch the calculated values as shown in Figure 2.

MECHANICS OF MATERIALS, Chapter 11, Problem 1RP , additional homework tip  2

Write the section properties as follows:

Calculate the moment of inertia (I) as shown in below:

I=π4c4 (1)

Here, c is the radius of section.

Substitute y for c in Equation (1).

I=π4y4

Find the value of section modulus S as shown in below:

S=Ic (2)

Here, I is the moment of inertia and c is the centroid of section.

Substitute π4y4 for I and y for c in Equation (2).

S=π4y4y=π4y3

Calculate the allowable bending stress (σallow) as a function of x can be obtained by using flexural formula.

σ=MS (3)

Here, M is the moment.

Substitute Px for M and π4y3 for S in Equation (3).

σallow=Pxπ4y3π4y3(σallow)=Pxy=[4Pπσallowx]13

Hence, the radius y as a function of x is [4Pπσallowx]13_.

The beam ABC has a mass of 79.0 kg and is supported by the rope BDC that runs through the frictionless pulley at D . The winch at C has a mass of 36.5 kg. The tension in the rope acts on the beam at points B and C and counteracts the moments due to the beam's weight (acting vertically at the midpoint of its length) and the weight of the winch (acting vertically at point C) such that the resultant moment about point A is equal to zero. Assume that rope segment CD is vertical and note that rope segment BD is NOT necessarily perpendicular to the beam. a.) Compute the tension in the rope. b.) Model the two forces the rope exerts on the beam as a single equivalent force and couple moment acting at point B. Enter your answer in Cartesian components. c.)
