A portion of the shifter mechanism for a manual car transmission is shown in the figure. For the 8.7-N force exerted on the shift knob, determine the corresponding force P exerted by the shift link BC on the transmission (not shown). Neglect friction in the ball-and-socket joint at O, in the joint at B, and in the slip tube near support D. Note that a soft rubber bushing at D allows the slip tube to self-align with link.
The upper jaw D of the toggle press slides with negligible frictional resistance along the fixed vertical column. Calculate the
compressive force R exerted on the cylinder E and the force supported by the pin at A if a force F = 230 N is applied to the handle at
an angle 0 = 73°.
