In mechanical terminology, the term load indicates that external force/weight, either constant or variable, acts on a mechanical member/structure. The weight of an object of a specific material is also an external load, and the external force that works …

Chapter 6.4, Problem 6.144P

The gear-pulling assembly shown consists of a crosshead CF, two grip arms ABC and FGH, two links BD and EG, and a threaded center rod JK. Knowing that the center rod JK must exert a 4800-N force on the vertical shaft KL in order to start the removal of the gear, determine all forces acting on grip arm ABC. Assume that the rounded ends of the crosshead are smooth and exert horizontal forces only on the grip arms.

NAME Question 1 (6/20) ANSWER ON THE YELLOW PAGES The nose wheel of the landing gear of an aircraft is extended and retracted by applying a torque M to the rod BC by means of an shaft located at point B. The rod AO, on which the landing wheel is also located, has a combined mass of 100 kg which may be simplified to a point force at point G. The masses of the bars CD and BC may be neglected. If the point D is located underneath point B, the rod CD is at an angle of 30° to the vertical y-axis. At this position the landing gear should be kept stationary, dynamic effects may therefore be neglected. All components are made out of stainless steel with max=200 MPa and Imax = 75 MPa.
