- 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 mobile crane is symmetrically supported by two outriggers at A and B to relieve the suspension of the vehicle on which it sits and to provide extra stability. Determine the vertical reactions at each of the two outriggers as a function of boom angle when the boom is carrying a 1.2 Mg load and the crane and truck have a combined mass of 18 Mg and the boom has a mass of 2 Mg. 0 = 45°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
- Determine the magnitude of the pin force at A.Assume W = 665 lb, a = 3.7 ft, b = 2.9 ft, r = 8 in.arrow_forwardThe plate is made of steel having a density of 7850kg/m3. If the thickness of the plate is 10 mm,determine the horizontal and vertical components ofreaction at the pin A and the tension in cable BC.arrow_forwardThe ring weighs 6 lbf and is in equilibrium. The force F1 = 4.5 lbf. Determine the force F2 and the angle α.arrow_forward
- If a force of P=25N is applied to the handle of the mechanism, determine the force the screw exerts on the cork of the bottle. The screw is attached to the pin at A and passes through the collar that is attached to the bottle neck at Barrow_forwardQ (4): The 11 Kg lamp fixture is suspended from the two springs, each having an unstretched length of 6 m. Determine stiffness of k for equilibrium.arrow_forwardDetermine the tension developed in cables OD and OB and the strut OC, required to support the 50-kg crate. The spring OA has an unstretched length of 0.8 m and stiffness kOA = 1.2 kN/m The force in the strut acts along the axis of the strut.arrow_forward
- The ring weighs 5 N and is in equilibrium. The force F1 = 4.5 N. Determine the force F2 and the angle ∝.arrow_forwardThe bracket is held to the wall using three A-36 steel bolts at B, C, and D. Each bolt has a diameter of 0.5 in. and an unstretched length of 2 in. If a force of 800 lb is placed on the bracket as shown, determine the force developed in each bolt. For the calculation, assume that the bolts carry no shear; rather, the vertical force of 800 lb is supported by the toe at A. Also, assume that the wall and bracket are rigid. A greatly exaggerated deformation of the bolts is shown.arrow_forwardThe bent rod is supported at A, B, and C by smooth journal bearings. Determine the magnitude of F2 (in lb) which will cause the reaction Cy at the bearing C to be equal to zero. The bearings are in proper alignment and exert only force reactions on the rod. Set F1 = 687 lb.arrow_forward
