Textbook Question
Chapter 10, Problem 12ICA
Refer to the Worksheet shown, set up to calculate the displacement of a spring. Hooke's law states that the force (F, in newtons) applied to a spring is equal to the stiffness of the spring (k, in newtons per meter) times the displacement {x, in meters): F = kx.
Cell A3 contains a data validation list of springs. The stiffness (cell 83) and maximum displacement (cell C3) values are found using a VLOOKUP function linked to the table shown at the right side of the worksheet. These data are then used to determine the displacement of the spring at various mass values. A warning is issued if the displacement determined is greater than the maximum displacement for the spring. Use this information to determine the answers to the following questions.
- a. Write the expression, in Excel notation, that you would type into cell 86 to determine the displacement of the spring. Assume you will copy this expression to cells 87 to B 17.
- b. Fill in the following information in the VLOOKUP function used to determine the maximum displacement in cell C3 based on the choice of spring in cell A3.
=VLOOKUP(_(1)__,_(2)_,_(3)_,_(4)_)
- c. Fill in the following information in the IF function used to determine the warning given in cell C6, using the maximum displacement in cell C3. Assume you will copy this expression to cells C7 to C17.
=IF(_(1)_,_(2)_,_(3)_)

You and a friend are raising a beam, but your friend's rope is too short so you lift him off the ground. At the current time, everything is static. The tension in your cord is 1045.6 N, the mass of the beam is 15 kg, and the mass of your friend is 85 kg. The length of the beam is 4.9 m, d = 3.9 m, theta = 43.5 degrees, phi = 62.5 degrees. If you choose the base of the beam as the origin, and the positive torque direction as counter-clockwise, what is the torque from your cord on the friend+beam system?
A four-bar mechanism is used to transmit power to slider E. Link AC rotates counterclockwise at 100 rpm. A and B are fixed points. The following linkages are measured in cm: AC=35, AB=70, CD=45, BD=45, DE=40. Find the instantaneous velocity of slider E in cm/s
1.Draw the mechanism in appropriate scale on your paper2. Find the instantaneous linear velocity of C3. Find a point on your paper to draw the velocity polygon and scale the magnitude of the computed linearvelocity4. Use the relative velocity equation for finding the linearvelocity of D; ? = ? + ?? ? ?/?5. Remember that although the magnitudes are unknown, their directions can be identified6. Obtain the magnitudes of the unknown velocities from the velocity polygon7. For Link DE, repeat the process by using ? = ? + ??the line as much as needed8. Remember that E is a SLIDER therefore it can only goin the direction where its movement is not constrained? . Add the vector ? to the head of ? and extend?/? ?/??
