The car bumper is made of polycarbonate-polybutylene terephthalate. If E = 2.0 GPa, determine the maximum deflection and maximum stress in the bumper if it strikes the rigid post when the car is coasting at v = 0.75 m/s. The car has a mass of 1.80 Mg, and the bumper can be considered simply supported on two spring supports connected to the rigid frame of the car. For the bumper take I = 300(l06) mm4, c = 75 mm, σY = 30 MPa and k = 1.5 MN/m.

- The pipe is stuck in the ground so that when it is pulled upward the frictional force along its length varies linearly from zero at B to fmax (force/length) at C. The pipe has a length L, cross-sectional area A, and the material from which it is made has a modulus of elasticity E. Determine the initial force P required to pull the pipe out. Express your answer as an expression in terms of the variables f, L, A and E and any necessary constants.arrow_forwardThe rigid bar is supported by the two short white spruce wooden posts and a spring. If each of the posts has an unloaded length of 1 m and a cross-sectional area of 600 mm2, and the spring has a stiffness of k = 2 MN >m and an unstretched length of 1.02 m, determine the force in each post after the load is applied to the bar.arrow_forwardThe rigid bar is supported by the two short white spruce wooden posts and a spring. If each of the posts has an unloaded length of 1 m and a cross-sectional area of 600 mm2, and the spring has a stiffness of k = 2 MN >m and an unstretched length of 1.02 m, determine the vertical displacement of A and B after the load is applied to the bar.arrow_forward
- The bar of negligible weight is supported by two springs, each having a stiffness k = 100 N/m. If the springs are originally unstretched, and the force is vertical as shown, determine the angle e the bar makes with the horizontal, when the 30-N force is applied to the bar. %3D k 1 m 2 m C k 30 Narrow_forwardThe driver of the sports car applies his rear brakes and causes the tires to slip. If the normal force on each rear tire is 1800lb and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and the pavement is { { \mu }_{ k }=0.5 }μk=0.5, determine the average shear stress developed by the friction force on the tires. Assume the rubber of the tires is flexible and each tire is filled with an air pressure of 225 kp.arrow_forward*8–60. Each block has a weight of 400 lb. Determine how far the force P can compress the spring until block B slips on block A. What is P for this to occur?arrow_forward
- The A-36 steel bolt is required to absorb the energy of a 2-kg mass that falls h = 30 mm. If the bolt has a diameter of 4 mm, determine its required length L so the stress in the bolt does not exceed 150 MPa.arrow_forwardThe tugboat has a weight of 120 000 lb and is traveling forward at 2 ft>s when it strikes the 12-in.-diameter fender post-AB used to protect a bridge pier. If the post is made from treated white spruce and is assumed fixed at the river bed, determine the maximum horizontal distance the top of thepost will move due to the impact. Assume the tugboat is rigid and neglects the effect of the water.arrow_forwardThe assembly is used to support the 130-kg container having a center of mass at G.
