Concept explainers
The positioning device locks the sliding panel C into place relative to the fixed panel D, to which the device is attached. Pressing at E rotates the moving part of the device clockwise about O, retracting the pin AB from the hole in panel C. If a force
N is required to begin clockwise rotation of the device, determine the moment M about point O exerted by the internal coiled spring S.

- With the 315-lb cylindrical part P in its grip, the robotic arm pivots about O through the range-45 ≤ 0 ≤ 45° with the angle at A locked at 120°. Determine and plot (as a function of 0) the moment at O due to the combined effects of the 315-lb part P, the 105-lb weight of member OA (mass center at G₁), and the 35-lb weight of member AB (mass center at G₂). The end grip is included as a part of member AB. The lengths L₁ and L2 are 2.3 ft and 1.6 ft, respectively. What is the maximum absolute value of Mo and at what value of 8 does this maximum occur? The moment is positive if counterclockwise, negative if clockwise.

If an internal torsional spring exerts a return moment M = 3.5 N·m on the sector when in the position shown, for design purposes determine the necessary throttle-cable tension T so that the net moment about O is zero. Note that when T is zero, the sector rests against the idle-control adjustment screw at R.arrow_forward
