Four
-diameter pegs are attached to a board as shown. Two strings are passed around the pegs and pulled with the forces indicated. (a) Determine the resultant couple acting on the board. (b) If only one string is used, around which pegs should it pass and in what directions should it be pulled to create the same couple with the minimum tension in the string? (c) What is the value of that minimum tension?

- pls answer thank u!6arrow_forward1. A machine component is subjected to the forces and couples shown. a- Determine the equivalent force-couple system for the given loading condition. b- If the component is to be held in place by a single rivet that can resist a force but not a couple. Determine the location of the rivet hole if it is to be located (i) on line FG, (ii) on line GH. 120 N 240 mm 200 N 70° 15 D Fi 50 mm 42 N-m 80 N 520 mm C 60 N 180 mm Hi 40 N-m G В 50 mm 50 mm 640 mmarrow_forward120 Rigid Bodies: Equivalent Systems of Forces 3.74 Two parallel 40-N forces are applied to a lever as shown. Deter- mine the moment of the couple formed by the two forces (a) by resolving each force into horizontal and vertical components and adding the moments of the two resulting couples, (b) by using the perpendicular distance between the two forces, (e) by summing the moments of the two forces about point A. 20° 40 N The tw hafts of a sneed-reducer unit are subiected to couples mag d = 1 Ib I ad M "couples with a gle quivalent couple, specifts mag- .ade and the dire 40 N 270 mm w It, respectiv y.

- Determine whether the force-and-couple system shown can be reduced to a single equivalent force R . If it can, determine R and the point where the line of action of R intersects the yz plane. If it cannot be reduced, replace the given system with an equivalent wrench and determine its resultant, its pitch, and the point where its axis intersects the yz plane.arrow_forwardForce P and couple M are applied at A as shown. 1. Suppose an equivalent system was made such that only force at B and a couple are present. What gives the magnitude of force at B and the couple in the equivalent system? 2. If the force P and couple M is to be replaced with a single force, where is the point of application of this single force along bar ABCD in order to have the same external effect as the original set of force P and couple M? (How many m to the left or right of B)arrow_forwardThanks for all assistance. Few more pls.arrow_forward
- 2. A person's arm is used for ergonomic studies. If the distance of the AB, BC, and CD segments are 35.0 mm, 28.0 mm, and 19.0 mm, respectively, and the model is holding a small 1.5-lb load on the distal metacarpals of her hand . Determine the magnitude and direction of the moment of force with respect to a) to the shoulder joint, b) to the olecranon joint, c) to the carpal joint.arrow_forwardThe overhead electric hoist C rides along a track on the horizontal beam AB. In addition to the 500-KN vertical force carried by the hoist, the beam also supports the three vertical forces shown. (a) If x=5m determine the resultant of the four forces carried by the beam. (b) Determine the distance x for which the resultant of the four forces would act at the center of the span AB.arrow_forward#4arrow_forward
- The manufacturer of an automobile is considering the two designs shown for the vehicle's lug nut wrench. Forcés F4, Fc, Qu, and Qc are applied by the user to the wrench; these forces are perpendicular to plane ABCD and are to be couples., (a) If FA= QA = 150 N, determine Fc and Qc, and for each wrench, determine the moment of the couple. (b) If a moment about the x axis at point D of 12000N-mm is required to loosen the lug nut, determine the values of F4, Fc. Qu, and Qc. 40 mm 40 25 mm 25 mm Tec 25 mm (a)arrow_forwardIn the assembly shown, member AB is rigidly attached to the wall while an L bar is pinned to AB at E. Two forces P and Q are acting on the assembly as shown. Force P lies on the x-axis while force Q is applied at point D along a plane parallel to the yz plane. 1.
