Statics 3.4 – Normal Reactions in a Bearing | Hibbeler 14th Edition

The bearing consists of rollers, symmetrically confined within the housing. The bottom one is subjected to a 125-N force at its contact A due to the load on the shaft. Determine the normal reactions N_B and N_C on the bearing at its contact points B and C for equilibrium.

Equations of Equilibrium:

Note that if we take the sum of forces in the x-direction, there are two unknown forces involve, but if we take the sum of forces in the y-direction, there is only one unknown force involve.

Summation of forces in the y-direction:

\begin{aligned} +\uparrow \sum F_y & =0& & & & & \\ 125- N_C \cos 40 \degree &=0 & & & & &\\ N_C &=\dfrac{125}{\cos 40 \degree} & & & & & \\ N_C & =163.1759 \ \text{N} \\ \end{aligned}

Summation of forces in the x-direction:

\begin{aligned} \xrightarrow{+} \sum F_x & =0 \\ N_B - 163.1759\ \sin 40 \degree &=0 \\ N_B &=163.1759 \sin 40\degree \\ N_B & = 104.8874 \ \text{N} \end{aligned}

Therefore, the normal reactions N_Band N_C on the bearing at its contact points B and C for equilibrium are 163.1759 N and 104.8874 N, respectively.

Statics 14E Problem 3.3 Forces in Equilibrium with unknown force and its direction

Solution:

Free-body Diagram:

Equilibrium Equation:

Summation of forces in the x-direction:

\begin{aligned} \xrightarrow{+} \: \sum F_x & = 0 & \\ 5 \: \text{kN}+F \sin \theta - 8 \: \text {kN} \cos 30 \degree - 4\: \text{kN} \cos 60 \degree & = 0 & \\ F \sin \theta &= 3.9282 & (1) \end{aligned}

Summation of forces in the y-direction:

\begin{aligned} +\uparrow \sum F_y & = 0 &\\ 8 \sin 30 \degree - 4 \sin 60 \degree - F \cos \theta & =0 &\\ F \cos \theta & = 0.5359 & (2)\\ \end{aligned}

We now have two equations. Divide Eq (1) by (2)

\begin{aligned} \dfrac{F \sin \theta}{F \cos \theta} &= \dfrac{3.9282}{0.5359} \\ \dfrac{ \sin \theta}{ \cos \theta} & = 7.3301 \\ \end{aligned}

We know that $\tan \theta = \dfrac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta}$ :

\begin{aligned} \tan \theta &=7.3301 \\ \theta & = \tan^{-1}7.3301\\ \textcolor{blue}\theta & \textcolor{blue}{=82.2\degree}\\ \end{aligned}

Substituting this result to equation (1), we have

\begin{aligned} F\sin 82.2 \degree & = 3.9282 \\ \textcolor{blue}F & \textcolor{blue}{=3.96 \ \text{kN}} \end{aligned}

Statics 3.2 – Equilibrium of Truss Members that are Pin Connected | Hibbeler 14th Edition

The members of a truss are pin connected at joint O. Determine the magnitude of F₁ and its angle θ for equilibrium. Set F₂=6 kN.

Figure 3.1: Engineering Mechanics: Statics Equilibrium of Particle — Figure 3.1/3.2

Solution:

Free-body diagram:

Equations of Equilibrium:

The summation of forces in the x-direction:

\begin{aligned} \sum F_x & = 0 &\\ 6 \sin 70 \degree + F_1 \cos \theta - 5 \cos 30 \degree - \dfrac {4}{5} \left(7 \right) & = 0 & \\ F_1 \cos \theta & = 4.2920 & (1) \end{aligned}

The summation of forces in the y-direction:

\begin{aligned} \sum F_y & =0 & \\ 6 \cos 70 \degree+5 \sin 30 \degree - F_1 \sin \theta - \dfrac{3}{5} \left( 7 \right ) & =0 & \\ F_1 \sin \theta &=0.3521 & (2)\\ \end{aligned}

We came up with 2 equations with unknowns $F_1$ and $\theta$ . To solve the equations simultaneously, we can use the method of substitution.

Using equation 1, solve for $F_1$ in terms of $\theta$ .

\begin{aligned} F_1 \cos \theta & = 4.2920 &\\ F_1 & =\dfrac{4.2920}{ \cos \theta } & (3) \\ \end{aligned}

Now, substitute this equation (3) to equation (2).

\begin{aligned} F_1 \sin \theta & = 0.3521 \\ \left ( \dfrac {4.2920}{\cos \theta} \right) \sin \theta & =0.3521 \\ 4.2920 \cdot \dfrac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta} & = 0.3521 \\ 4.2920 \tan \theta & = 0.3521 \\ \tan \theta & = \dfrac{0.3521}{4.2920} \\ \theta &= \tan ^{-1} \dfrac{0.3521}{4.2920} \\ \theta & = 4.69 \degree \end{aligned}

Substitute the solved value of $\theta$ to equation (3).

\begin{aligned} F_1 & = \dfrac{4.2920}{\cos \theta} \\ F_1 &= \dfrac{4.2920}{\cos 4.69 \degree} \\ F_1 & = 4.31 \text{kN} \end{aligned}

Therefore, the answers to the questions are:

\begin{aligned} F_1= & \:4.31 \: \text {kN} \\ \theta = & \: 4.69 \degree \end{aligned}

Statics 3.1 – Equilibrium of Truss Members in Pin Connection | Hibbeler 14th Edition

The members of a truss are pin connected at joint O. Determine the magnitudes of F₁ and F₂ for equilibrium. Set θ=60.

Solution:

Free-body diagram:

Equations of Equilibrium:

Take the sum of horizontal forces considering forces to the right positive, and equate to zero.

\begin {aligned} \sum{F}_x &= 0 & \\ F_1 \cos{60 \degree}+F_2 \sin{70 \degree}-5\cos{30 \degree}-\dfrac{4}{5}\left(7\right) &= 0 &\\ 0.5F_1+0.9397F_2&=9.9301 &(1)\\ \end {aligned}

Take the sum of vertical forces considering upward forces positive, and equate to zero.

\begin{aligned} \sum F_y&=0 &\\ -F_1\sin60\degree+F_2\cos70\degree+5\sin30\degree-\dfrac{3}{5}\left(7\right)&=0 &\\ -0.8660F_1+0.3420F_2&=1.7 &(2)\\ \end{aligned}

Now, we have two equations with two unknowns $F_1$ and $F_2$ . So, we have a system of two equations. We can solve this using algebra, or we can directly use our calculator with this capability. The answers are

F_1=1.83 \: \text{kN}\\ F_2=9.60 \: \text{kN}

Hibbeler Statics 14E P1.1 — Converting mass to weight in newtons

What is the weight in newtons of an object that has a mass of (a) 8 kg, (b) 0.04 kg, and (c) 760 Mg?

_{Statics of Rigid Bodies 14^th Edition by RC Hibbeler, Problem 1-1}

Solution:

Part A: To convert the given mass in kilogram to newton force, we simply need to multiply by the acceleration due to gravity of 9.81 m/s². We need to take into account that $1\:\text{kg m/s}^2\:=1\:\text{N}$ .

\begin {aligned} 8\:\text{kg} & =8\:\text{kg}\times 9.81\:\text{m/s}^2 \\ &=78.48\:\text{N} \end {aligned}

Part B: Using the same principle from Part A, we have

\begin {aligned} 0.04\:\text{kg}&=0.04\:\text{kg}\times 9.81\:\text{m/s}^2\\ &=0.3924\:\text{N} \end {aligned}

Part C: So, we are given 760 Mg (megagram). We know that 1 Mg is equivalent to 1000 kg. Therefore, 760 Mg is equal to 760,000 kg. Therefore, we have

\begin {aligned} 760\:000\:\text{kg}&=760\:000\:\text{kg}\times 9.81\:\text{m/s}^2\\ &=7\:455\:600\:\text{N} \end{aligned}
