Concept explainers

It is defined as, two or more elements like beams or any two or more force members, which when assembled together, behaves like a complete structure or as a single structure. They generally consist of two force member which means any component structure …

Equilibrium Equations

If a body is said to be at rest or moving with a uniform velocity, the body is in equilibrium condition. This means that all the forces are balanced in the body. It can be understood with the help of Newton's first law of motion which states that the res…

Force Systems

When a body comes in interaction with other bodies, they exert various forces on each other. Any system is under the influence of some kind of force. For example, laptop kept on table exerts force on the table and table exerts equal force on it, hence th…

Chapter 8.2, Problem 8.68P

Derive the following formulas relating the load W and the force P exerted on the handle of the jack discussed in Sec. 8.2B. (a) P = (Wr/a) tan (θ + ϕ_S) to raise the load; (b) P = (Wr/a) tan (ϕ_S − θ) to lower the load if the screw is self-locking; (c) P = (Wr/a) tan (θ – ϕ_S) to hold the load if the screw is not self-locking.

reading is 0.4 mas SHOWN. Assume h₁ = 0.4 m, h₂ = 0.5 m. (a) Do you know the specific weight of mercury? (b) Do you know the specific weight of gasoline? (c) Do you know the specific weight of oil? (a) YHg = 133,000 (b) Ygas = 6867 (c) Yoil = 8829 eTextbook and Media Part 2 N/m³ N/m³ N/m³ A+ Gasoline t +B Oil -Mercury Attempts: unlimited Did you calculate the pressure difference between two locations using the correct specific weight? Did you assume that the pressures in fluid are the same in a horizontal plane even though they are in different tubes? Are the calculated pressures in a column of fluid always higher at lower elevations? Did you account for the fact that the two horizontal tubes of the U-tube are above the ground? Concepts: The pressure in a fluid is a function of the specific weight of the fluid and the height relative to a reference. Pressure is constant in a horizontal plane of a continuous mass of fluid. (a) What is the initial pressure difference? (PA-PB) (b) What is…
