Chapter 6.3, Problem 6.98P

Solve Problem 6.97 assuming that the 75-kN load has been removed.

PROBLEM 6.97 The cab and motor units of the front-end loader shown are connected by a vertical pin located 2 m behind the cab wheels. The distance from C to D is 1 m. The center of gravity of the 300-kN motor unit is located at G_m, while the centers of gravity of the 100-kN cab and 75-kN load are located, respectively, at G_C and G_l. Knowing that the machine is at rest with its brakes released, determine (a) the reactions at each of the four wheels, (b) the forces exerted on the motor unit at C and D.

[Chapter 4, Problem 4.41P The center of gravity of the 3000-lb car is at G. The car is parked on an incline with the parking brake engaged, which locks the rear wheels. Find (a) the normal forces (perpendicular to the incline) acting under the front and rear pairs of wheels; and (b) the friction force (parallel to the incline) under the rear pair of wheels. 2.2 ft A N₁ W cos(12) W -3 ft- - W sin (12) 6 ft f 44 N₂ x-axis y-axis 12°

Q 4) The indicated location of the center of gravity of the ( 16 kN ) pickup truck is for the unloaded condition. If a load whose center of gravity is ( x = 40 cm ) in front of the rear axle is added to the truck. Determine the load weight ( WL ) for which the normal forces under the front and rear wheels are equal. 160 cm -110 cm-

Q.3) A luggage transport truck is used to raise and lower luggage from an aircraft. A piece of luggage weighing 450 lbs. is supported in the position shown with a center of gravity at point G. The raising and lowering mechanism are connected to the truck bed by a pin support at F and a roller support at H, and to the luggage platform by a pin support at C and a roller support at D. The hydraulic strut AB is pinned at either end and used to raise and lower the mechanism. Assume the weight of all members within the mechanism are negligible, that point C is vertically aligned with F, point D is vertically aligned with H, and that the strut AB is vertically 20maint oriented. (a) Determine the support reactions at F and H in the stationary position shown. (b) Determine the force in the hydraulic strut AB and state whether it is in tension or compression. 80000000 C 2.5 ft 0.5 ft 3 ft A B F G E H D 4 ft 4 ft
