Explanation Given information: The tie rods are made up of A-36 steel rod. The length of each rods ( L ) is 0.75 m . The cross-sectional area of each rods ( A ) is 125 mm 2 . The young’s modulus of steel ( E ) is 200 GPa . The lead of the screw is 1.5 mm . Assumption: Apply the sign convention for calculating the equations of equilibrium as below: For the horizontal forces equilibrium condition, take the force acting towards right side as positive ( → + ) and the force acting towards left side as negative ( ← − ) . For the vertical forces equilibrium condition, take the upward force as positive ( ↑ + ) and downward force as negative ( ↓ − ) . For moment equilibrium condition, take the clockwise moment as negative and counter clockwise moment as positive. Calculation: Show the free body diagram of the turnbuckle as in Figure 1. Refer to Figure 1: Here, T A B is force of the rod AB , T C D is force of the rod CD , and T E F is force of the rod EF . Calculate the moment about point E by applying the equation of equilibrium: Sum of moments about point E is equal to 0. ∑ M E = 0 − ( T A B × 0.5 ) + ( T C D × 0.5 ) = 0 0.5 T A B = 0.5 T C D T A B = T C D Therefore, T = T A B = T C D (1) Calculate the vertical forces by applying the equation of equilibrium: Sum of vertical forces is equal to 0. ∑ F y = 0 T E F − 2 T = 0 T E F = 2 T (2) Show the free body diagram of the assembly as in Figure 2. Refer Figure 2. Here, δ A / B is deformation at AB and δ E / F is deformation at EF . The rod EF shortens 1.5 mm causing AB (and DC ) to elongate. Therefore, 0.0015 = δ A / B + δ E / F 0

Torsion

In mechanical engineering, torque, torsion, and twisting moment are three of the most important concepts which have different meanings. Torque is the consequence of a moment of a force that produces an angular acceleration in a body or induces rotational…

CORRECT ANSWER WITH COMPLETE FBD ONLY. I WILL UPVOTE. A torque wrench is used to tighten the pipe shown.Dimensions: S1 = 400 mm; S2 = 250 mm; S3 = 100 mmModulus of Rigidity G = 78 GPa1. The diameter of the solid pipe is 20 mm. How much is themaximum force P (N) that can be applied based on theallowable shear stress of 60 MPa?2. For a hollow pipe with 50 mm outside diameter and is 6 mmthick, compute for the maximum force P (kN) that can beapplied such that the angle of twist at A does not exceed 5degrees.3. The torque applied to tighten the hollow pipe is 200 N-m.Given: Pipe outside diameter = 50 mm Pipe thickness = 6 mmSolve for the resulting maximum shear stress (MPa) in the pipe.
