The rim on the flywheel has a thickness t, width b, and specific weight γ. If the flywheel is rotating at a constant rate of ω, determine the maximum moment developed in the rim. Assume that the spokes do not deform. Hint: Due to symmetry of the loading, the slope of the rim at each spoke is zero. Consider the radius to be sufficiently large so that the segment AB can be considered as a straight beam fixed at both ends and loaded with a uniform centrifugal force per unit length. Show that this force is w = btγω2r/g.

- Determine the reactions at A and B for the beam subjected to the couples and distributed load. At x = 0, the distributed load is increasing at the rate of 9 lb/ft per foot. Assume a = 5 ft, b = 20 ft, w₁ = 150 lb/ft, w₂ = 420 lb/ft, M₁ = 2630 lb-ft, M₂ = 1640 lb-ft.

- The beam of negligible weight is supported horizontally by two springs. If the beam is horizontal and the springs are unstretched when the load is removed, determine the angle of tilt of the beam when the load is applied. Take x = 659 N/m, y = 1.5 kN/m, and z = 1.6 kN/m.arrow_forwardThe compound beam is supported by a roller at point C, fixed at point A, and the two sections are pinned at point B. It is subjected to a free couple moment M, a distributed load with maximum load intensity w, and a concentrated force F. If the distributed load w = 0.6 kN/m, the concentrated force F = 0.6 kN, and the free couple moment M = 0.8, determine the magnitude of the support reaction (in kN) at pin B. Answer must include 2 places after the decimal point.arrow_forwardThe cantilevered beam has a rectangular cross-sectional area A, a moment of inertia I, and a modulus of elasticity E. If a load P acts at point B as shown, determine the displacement at B in the direction of P, accounting for bending, axial force, and shear.arrow_forward
