Chapter 5, Problem 5.1P
Bar AB of negligible weight is supported by a ball-and-socket joint at B and two cables attached at A. Draw the FBD for the bar, recognizing that it is a two-force body. Determine the number of unknowns.
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
Number of unknowns.
Answer to Problem 5.1P
Number of unknown forces are 2.
Explanation of Solution
Given Information:
Bar AB of negligible weight is supported by ball and socket joint at B and two cables attached at A. See the figure below:
Calculation:
Draw free body diagram as shown in the following figure:
There are three unknown reaction forces at B as
Also there are two unknown tension forces at A as,
So there are 5 unknowns in total.
Also, forces at A and B can be reduced to their corresponding resultant at A and B respectively. So there are only 2 unknowns.
Conclusion:
Therefore, there are 2 unknown forces in the system.

The feed flow rate to an adiabatic continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) in which an exothermicreaction is occurring is increased from 1000 to 1400. kg/h, causing the outlet temperature to change as shown:a) Briefly explain on a physical basis why the temperature in this system oscillates after a step increasein the inlet flow rate. Be clear, complete, and concise. c) You know that this oscillating response cannot be that of two first order processes with real timeconstant acting in series. Assuming the reaction is first order and the CSTR operates with constant holdup,derive the block diagram with all transfer functions indicating how the temperature would respond to the feedflow rate step change (W’(s) as input and T’(s) as output). An intermediate variable in this block diagram willbe the concentration of A in the reactor, represented by CA’(s). d) A correct result for part c) will include a feedback loop in the block diagram, indicating the responsein T to a change in w is not…

Q.1. The press shown for Figure.1 has a rated load
of 22 kN. The twin screws have double start Acme
threads, a diameter of 50 mm, and a pitch of 6 mm.
Coefficients of friction are 0.05 for the threads and
0.08 for the collar bearings. Collar diameters are 90
mm. The gears have an efficiency of 95 percent and a
speed ratio of 60:1. A slip clutch, on the motor shaft,
prevents overloading. The full-load motor speed is
1720 rev/min.
