Figure 12.58 shows a person pulling down on a rope with a 50 N modulus force. The forearm is pointed at 30 ° from the horizontal. The triceps (the muscle that flexes the elbow) is fixed 1.2 cm from the joint and exerts a vertical force. It is assumed that the forearm is a homogeneous bar of negligible thickness, mass 2 kg and length 30 cm.

A car skidded off an icy road and became stuck in deep snow at the road shoulder. Another car, of 1400 kg mass, attempted to jerk the stuck vehicle back onto the road using a 5 m steel tow cable of stiffness k = 5000 N/mm. The traction available to the rescue car prevented it from exerting any significant force on the cable. With the aid of a push from bystanders, the rescue car was able to back against the stuck car and then go forward and reach a speed of 4 km/h at the instant the cable became taut. If the cable is attached rigidly to the masses of the cars, estimate the maximum impact force that can be developed in the cable, and the resulting cable elongation. Assume that the steady state force, acting on the rope, is equal to the weight of the car.

A 2.3 m long stick with a uniform mass distribution extends horizontally from abuilding. There are two wires attached to the stick, wire A is attached to the beam 3/5 of theway from the building to the end of the stick, it pulls up at a 63° angle to the stick; wire B isattached 1/6 of the way from the building to the end of the stick, and pulls it down at a 32° angle to the stick.The tension in cable a is 112 N. What is the tension on wire B?

Also determine the value of gradually applied load which will produce the same extension as that produced by the above calculated suddenly applied load. Take E = 2 x 105 N/mm².
A jet engine is attached to the wing of an airplane by a security screw (Figure A, marked in black) with a diameter of 40mm whose purpose is to make sure that if, following a malfunction, the engine exerts too great a horizontal force F on the wing - the screw will break and the engine will detach from the wing and thus the wing will remain intact (Figure B).It is known that the weight of the engine is 3000 kg. A. When the engine exerts a force F of size 10[kn] what types of stress act on the screw?B. When the engine exerts a force F of size 10[kn] what is the stress acting on the screw according toTRESCA criterionC.
