Chapter 3, Problem 3.19P
A typical World War I biplane fighter (such as the French SPAD shown in Figure 3.50) has a number of vertical interwing struts and diagonal bracing wires. Assume for a given airplane that the total length for the vertical struts (summed together) is 25 ft. and that the struts are cylindrical with a diameter of 2 in. Assume also that the total length of the bracing wires is 80 ft. with a cylindrical diameter of

Dr. Alexander is holding a briefcase with straight arm. Assume weight of the briefcase FB = 35 N, weight of the forearm FFA = 10 N, weight of the upper arm FUA = 15 N, moment arm of FB = 0.45 m, moment arm of FFA = 0.30 m, moment arm of FUA = 0.11 m, and moment arm of Fm = 0.03 m. Also, FM is 35 degrees above the horizontal. Calculate (1) muscle force FM, and (2) joint reaction forces Fj,x and Fj,y
A uniform horizontal strut weighs 370.0 N. One end of the strut is attached to a hinged support at the wall, and the other end of the strut is attached to a sign that weighs
170.0 N. The strut is also supported by a cable attached between the end of the strut and the wall. Assume that the entire weight of the sign is attached at the very end of
the strut.

Assuming a soften- ing force-displacement relation of the form k8 - B83, where 8 (measured in ft) is the displacement of the cord from its unstretched length, considering a bungee cord whose unstretched length is 150 ft, and letting k = 2.58 lb/ft, determine the value of the con- stant B such that a bungee jumper weighing 170 lb and starting from rest gets to the bottom of a 400 ft tower with zero speed.arrow_forwardA wind tunnel model of an airplane wing is suspended as shown in the figure.
