Textbook Question
Chapter 5, Problem 5SEP
Write a program for determining the stability of a rectangular block with a given length and height as the width varies. Call for input data for length, height, weight (or specific weight), and fluid specific weight. Vary the width in selected increments from small values to larger values, and compute the range of widths for which the metacentric height is positive, that is, for which the design would be stable. Plot a graph of metacentric height versus width.

The pickup truck weighs 3220 Ib and reaches a speed of 30 mi/hr from rest in a distance of 200 ft up the 10-percent incline with constant acceleration. Calculate the normal force under each pair of wheels and the friction force under the rear driving wheels. The effective coefficient of friction between the tires and the road is known to be at least 0.8.

The figure shows a car jack to support 400kg (W=400kg). In the drawing, the angle (0) varies
between 15 and 70 °. The links are machined from AISI 1020 hot-rolled steel bars with a
minimum yield strength of 380MPa. Each link consists of two bars, one on each side of the
central bearings. The bars are 300mm in length (/) and 25 mm in width (w). The pinned ends
have the buckling constant (C) of 1.4 for out of plane buckling. The design factor (nd) is 2.5.
(1) Find the thickness (t) of the bars and the factor of safety (n).
(2) Check if the bar is an Euler beam.

The setup is as follows: - **Crate (C):** Positioned on the ground with a rope attached. - **Rope:** Connects the crate to a pulley system and extends to the man. - **Pulley on Tree:** The rope runs over a pulley mounted on a tree which redirects the rope. - **Angles:** - The rope between the crate and tree forms a \(30^\circ\) angle with the horizontal. - The rope between the tree and the man makes a \(45^\circ\) angle with the horizontal. - **Man (A):** Pulling on the rope with the intention of moving the crate.
