The figure shows a schematic drawing of a vehicular jack that is to be designed to support a maximum mass of 300 kg based on the use of a design factor nd = 3.50. The opposite-handed threads on the two ends of the screw are cut to allow the link angle θ to vary from 15 to 70°. The links are to be machined from AISI 1010 hot-rolled steel bars. Each of the four links is to consist of two bars, one on each side of the central bearings. The bars are to be 350 mm long and have a bar width of w = 30 mm. The pinned ends are to be designed to secure an end-condition constant of at least C = 1.4 for out-of-plane buckling. Find a suitable preferred thickness and the resulting factor of safety for this thickness.

- A small lab scale has a rigid L-shaped frame ABC consisting of a horizontal arm AB (length b = 10 in.) and a vertical arm BC (length c = 7 in.) pivoted al point B. The pivot is attached to the outer frame BCD that stands on a laboratory bench. The position of the pointer al C is controlled by a spring, Jt = 5 lb/in., that is attached to a threaded rod. The pitch of the threads is p = 1/16 in. Under application of load W, 12 revolutions of the nut are required to bring the pointer back to the mark. Calculate the weight W.arrow_forwardThe piston in an engine is attached to a connecting rod AB, which in turn is connected to a crank arm BC (see figure). The piston slides without friction in a cylinder and is subjected to a force P (assumed to be constant) while moving to the right in the Figure. The connecting rod. with diameter d and length L, is attached at both ends by pins. The crank arm rotates about the axle at C with the pin at B moving in a circle of radius R. The axle at C, which is supported by bearings, exerts a resisting moment M against the crank arm. (a) Obtain a formula for the maximum permissible force Pallow. based upon an allowable compressive stress acin the connecting rod. (b) Calculate the Force Pallowfor the following data:arrow_forwardA small lab scale has a rigid L-shaped frame ABC consisting of a horizontal aim AB (length b = 30 cm) and a vertical arm BC (length c = 20 cm) pivoted at point B. The pivot is attached to the outer frame BCD that stands on a laboratory bench. The position of the pointer at C is controlled by two parallel springs, each having a spring constant k = 3650 N/m. that are attached to a threaded rod. The pitch of the threads is p = 1.5 mm.

- A bicycle chain consists of a series of small links, where each are 12 mm long between the centers of the pins (see figure). You might wish to examine a bicycle chain and observe its construction. Note particularly the pins, which have a diameter of 2.5 mm. To solve this problem, make two measurements on a bicycle (see figure): (1) the length L of the crank arm from main axle to pedal axle and (2) the radius R of the sprocket (the toothed wheel, sometimes called the chainring). (a) Using your measured dimensions, calculate the tensile force T in the chain due to a force F = 800 N applied to one of the pedals. (b) Calculate the average shear stress T averin the pins.arrow_forwardRepeat Problem 3.3-1, but now use a circular tube with outer diameter d0= 2.5 in. and inner diameter di= 1.5 in.arrow_forwardCompare the angle of twist 1 for a thin-walled circular tube (see figure) calculated from the approximate theory for thin-walled bars with the angle of twist 2 calculated from the exact theory of torsion for circular bars, Express the ratio 12terms of the non-dimensional ratio ß = r/t.
