Concept explainers
Each of the two members is made from 6061-T6 aluminum and has a square cross section 1 in. × 1 in. They are pin connected at their ends and a jack is placed between them and opened until the force it exerts on each member is 50 lb. Determine the greatest force P that can be applied to the center of the top member without causing either of the two members to yield. For the analysis neglect the axial force in each member. Assume the jack is rigid.

- The rigid bar is supported by the two short white spruce wooden posts and a spring. If each of the posts has an unloaded length of 1 m and a cross-sectional area of 600 mm2, and the spring has a stiffness of k = 2 MN >m and an unstretched length of 1.02 m, determine the force in each post after the load is applied to the bar.arrow_forwardThe A-36 steel pipe has an outer radius of 20 mm and an inner radius of 15 mm. If it fits snugly between the fixed walls before it is loaded, determine the reaction at the walls when it is subjected to the load shown.arrow_forwardThe rigid link is supported by a pin at A and two A-36 steel wires, each having an unstretched length of 12 in. and cross-sectional area of 0.0125 in2. Determine the force developed in the wires when the link supports the vertical load of 350 lb.arrow_forward
- The three steel wires are used to support the load. If the wires have an allowable tensile stress of σallow = 165 MPa, and wire AB has a diameter of 5 mm, wire BD has a diameter of 7 mm and wire BC has a diameter of 6 mm. Determine the maximum force P that can be applied before one of the wires fails.arrow_forwardthe pipe AB is screwed in tightly to a pipe flange attached to the wall. It has two forces acting on it as shown below. Draw a complete FBD of the bar (its loads and support reactions). FB= (2i + 6j + 3k) kNFc= (1i - 2j + 2k) kNarrow_forwardThe post is made of Douglas fir and has a diameter of 100 mm. If it is subjected to the load of 20 kN and the soil provides a frictional resistance that is distributed along its length and varies linearly from w = 4 kN>m at y = 0 to w = 12 kN>m at y = 2 m, determine the force F at its bottom needed for equilibrium. Also, what is the displacement of the top of the post A with respect to its bottom B? Neglect the weight of the post.arrow_forward
- The rigid lever arm is supported by two A-36 steel wires having the same diameter of 4 mm. Determine the smallest force P that will cause (a) only one of the wires to yield; (b) both wires to yield. Consider A-36 steel as anelastic perfectly plastic material.arrow_forwardThe post is made from 606l-T6 aluminum and has a diameter of 50 mm. It is fixed supported at A and B, and at its center C there is a coiled spring attached to the rigid collar. If the spring is originally uncompressed, determine the reactions at A and B when the force P = 40 kN is applied to the collar.arrow_forwardThe rigid pipe is supported by a pin at A and an A-36 steel guy wire BD. If the wire has a diameter of 0.25 in., determine how much it stretches when a load of P = 600 lb acts on the pipe.arrow_forward
- The beam is supported by the three pin-connected suspender bars, each having a diameter of 0.5 in. and made from A-36 steel. Determine the greatest uniform load w that can be applied to the beam without causing AB or CB to buckle.arrow_forwardThe coupling rod is subjected to a force of 5 kip. Determine the distance d between C and E accounting for the compression of the spring and the deformation of the bolts. When no load is applied the spring is unstretched and d = 10 in. The material is A-36 steel and each bolt has a diameter of 0.25 in. The plates at A, B, and C are rigid and the spring has a stiffness of k = 12 kip>in.arrow_forwardThe spring has a stiffness of 830 N/m and is undisturbed and measures 400 mm. Determine the forces on the BC and BD cables when the spring is stretched in the position shown in the figure.arrow_forward
