The platform scale consists of a combination of 3rd and 1st class levers sothat the load on one lever becomes the effort that moves the next lever. Through this arrangement, a small weight can balance a massive object. If x = 400mm, and the mass of the counterweight S is 3 kg, determine the mass of the load L required to maintain the balance. please include all free body diagrams.
The platform scale consists of a combination of third and first class levers so that the load on one lever becomes the effort that moves the next lever. Through this arrangement, a small weight can balance a massive object. If a 3kg counterweight S is used to balance a 120kg load L, what is the value of 'x'? Draw all pertinent FBDs. Use g=9.806 m/s2.
A former Mechanics student wants to weigh himself but only has a scale A limited to 400 N and a small spring dynamometer B that measures up to 80 N. With the assembly shown, he discovers that, by pulling the rope so that B points to 76 N , the scale reads 268 N. What are its correct weight W and mass m? (see img)
Problem 2.- The small piston of a hydraulic lift (Fig. 3) has a cross-sectional area of 3.00 cm2 and its large piston has a cross-sectional area of 200 cm2 What force of magnitude F1 must be applied downwards to the small piston in order to lift a load whose weight is Fg = 15.0 KN?
A 2.0m long bar is being used as a first-class lever. It has a load of 720 N placed on one end (located 1.2 m from the fulcrum) and the effort is being applied at the opposite end. A. State the law of the leaver B draw a diagram of the lever, showing the load,effort,fulcrum, effort arm, and load C determine the effort force needed to balance the load. D if this lever has an actual mechanical advantageous 1, determine the percent efficiency of the leaver.
Block A weighing 6 kN rests on a horizontal plane and supports on top of it another block of weight 1 kN as shown in Fig. 11-(i). Block B is attached to a vertical wall by an inclined string which makes an angle of 30o with the horizontal. What should be the value of horizontal force P to cause the motion of the lower block to impend? Take μ=0.30 for all the surfaces.
Question 2) The figure shows a mechanical model of the Russel fracture traction device and the leg. The leg is held in balance in the position indicated by the two weights attached to the two cables. The combined weight of the leg and the cast is W=210 N. The horizontal distance between points A and B where the cables are attached to the leg is L=100 cm and the vertical distance is d=6 cm. Point C is the center of gravity of the cast and leg at three quarters of the L measured from point A (3L/4= 75 cm). The angle that cable 2 makes with the horizontal is measured as β=33°. Accordingly, in order for the leg to remain in balance in the shown position; a) Find the tensile force T1 in cable 1. (Write your result in N) b) Find the tensile force T2 in cable 2. (Write your result in N) c) Find the angle α of cable 1 with the horizontal. Response
