Chapter 5, Problem 5.46SP

A toggle joint is a mechanism by which a comparatively small force P produces or balances a force F that increases rapidly as the angle θ approaches 180°. For a given angle of θ, the toggle pint becomes equivalent to a simple truss Force

P = 10 lb, a = 2 ft, b = 5 ft, and

c = 1 ft, as shown. Find force F. Neglect friction and the weights of the members.

1. The cylinder of weight, W (see the table of values), shown below is being hoisted up with the force F against the vertical wall. If u, = 0.57 W W = 500 kn a. Determine the reaction force (resultant of normal force and frictional force) against the vertical wall. b. Calculate the force, F, needed to set the cylindrical roller in motion.
30 in. 40 in. A F 25 in. 45 in. 35 in. Show Transcribed Text 60° A thin U-shaped member is kept in equilibrium in the vertical plane by up to three fingers and the cord (gravity acts downward). The weight of the member is uniformly distributed with 0.1 lb/in. So the total weight is 17.5 lb. Neglect the thickness of the member and any friction between the fingers and the member. Assume the finger force at G is zero. Determine the cord force and the other finger forces.
As shown, a roller of weight W and diameter R is pushed to the left over a tile of thickness 6. Consider the forces acting on the roller when it is in a momentary state of mechanical equilibrium as it rolls over the sharp corner of the tile. Ө 1 P a Sketch a free body diagram of the roller at this instant of momentary equilibrium b Sketch the closed force vector triangle representing the equilibrium condition of this problem. Note that the vectors drawn in the figure below are not necessarily to scale. c Express each interior angle of the closed force triangle in terms of a and and clearly label each force vector in the diagram and each interior angle of the force triangle. d Establish a relation between a, 6, and r. e Invoke static equilibrium and apply the law of sines to derive an expression for the force P expressed in terms of W, r, 6, and 0.
