I will upvote, thank you. 1: The assembly shown is composed of a rigid plank ABC, supported by hinge at A, spring at B and cable at C.The cable is attached to a frictionless pulley at D and rigidly supported at E. The cable is made of steel with E = 200,000MPa and cross-sectional area of 500 mm2. The details of pulley at D is shown. The pulley is supported by a pin, passingthough the pulley and attached to both cheeks. Note that E is directly above B.Given: H = 3 m; L1 = 2 m; L2 = 4 m; w = 12 kN/m; x:y = 3:4Spring Parameters:Wire diameter = 30 mmMean Radius = 90 mmNumber of turns = 12Modulus of Rigidity = 80 GPaAllowable stresses:Allowable shear stress of Pin at D = 85 MPaAllowable normal stress of cheek at D = 90MPaAllowable bearing stress of cheek at D = 110MPa1.

- Correct answer and complete fbd only. I will upvote. A flanged bolt coupling consists of two concentric rows of bolts. The inner row has 6 nos. of 16mm diameterbolts spaced evenly in a circle of 250mm in diameter. The outer row of has 10 nos. of 25 mm diameter bolts spaced evenly in a circle of 500mm in diameter. If the allowable shear stress on one bolt is 60 MPa, determine the torque capacity of the coupling. The Poisson’s ratio of the inner row of bolts is 0.2 while that of the outer row is 0.25 and the bolts are steel, E =200 GPa.arrow_forwardCorrect answer and complete fbd only.
