- EXERCISE 5.31 The right triangular plate is welded to the shaft, which rotates at constant speed. Determine the force-couple acting at bearing A that is equivalent to the force system the bearings must exert to sustain this motion. a 61 aarrow_forwardThe telescoping arm ABC is used to provide an elevated platform for construction workers. The workers and the platform together have a mass of 200 kg and have a combined center of gravity located directly above C. For the position when θ=20°, determine (a) the force exerted at B by the single hydraulic cylinder BD, (b) the force exerted on the supporting carriage at A.arrow_forward3.104 Five separate force-couple systems act at the corners of a piece of sheet metal, which has been bent into the shape shown.

- The masses of the frictionless cylinders A and B are 2.0kg and 1.0kg,respectively. The smallest value of the force P that will lift cylinder a off the horizontal surface is 55.5N. Calculate the radius R of the cylinder B.arrow_forwardIn order to unscrew the tapped faucet A, a plumber uses two pipe wrenches as shown. By exerting a 40-lb force on each wrench, at a distance of 10 in. from the axis of the pipe and in a direction perpendicular to the pipe and to the wrench, he prevents the pipe from rotating, and thus avoids loosening or further tightening the joint between the pipe and the tapped elbow C. Determine (a) the angle θ that the wrench at A should form with the vertical if elbow C is not to rotate about the vertical, (b) the force-couple system at Cequivalent to the two 40-lb forces when this condition is satisfied.arrow_forwardH.W: A frame ABC is supported in part by cable DBE that passes through a frictionless ring at B. Knowing that the tension in the cable is 385 N, determine (a)- the resultant ( R) of the forees as a vector which exerted by the cables on the support at D and E, (b)- the angles between R and each of the coordinate axes.

- Problem 1. Stickman, using the profits from his very lucrative stuntman business, has started an electric car company. His cars use a flywheel to store and supply energy as a means of increasing efficiency. A novice engineer for the company has designed a flywheel system that mounts at the center of mass of the car. The axis of the flywheel is aligned with the y-axis as shown (the coordinate systems for each figure align). If the flywheel is rotating about the base at a constant 120rad/s with a +y sense and the car is traveling in a circular path centered at point C with a constant speed of 20 m/s, solve for parts a) - e). Point G is the center of mass of the car and point F is the center of mass of the flywheel. The base of the flywheel is rigidly attached to the car. All velocities and accelerations should be measured with respect to an inertial coordinate system and reported as vectors with appropriate units. a) Angular velocity of the flywheel G Z Flywheel (back) -y [1 0 0 [I] 0 2…arrow_forwardIf a rigid body rotates about point O, the sum of the moments of the external forces acting on the body about point O equals which of the following?

(a) If d= 25 in., determine the distance from D to the line of action of the resultant of the weights of the three lights. (b) Determine thevalue of d so that the resultant of the weights passes through the midpoint of the pipe.arrow_forward
