The system consists of the two smooth spheres, each weighing 3 lb and connected by a light spring, and the two bars of negligible weight hinged freely at their ends and hanging in the vertical plane. The spheres are confined to slide in the smooth horizontal guide. If a horizontal force F = 10 lb is applied to the one bar at the position shown, what is the accelera- tion of the center C of the spring? Why does the re- sult not depend on the dimension b?
The mechanism shows two identical 2-kg bars that are 0.15 m long each. They are hinged together at the lower ends and are supported at the upper ends by small rollers of negligible mass which roll on a horizontal rail. Determine the steady state angle assumed by the bars when they are accelerating under the action of a constant horizontal force FN. Also, find the forces on the rollers at A and B as well as the reactions at the hinge C. Take the value of the force F is equal to 123.45 Newtons.
