    The document summarizes three mechanics of materials problems: 1) Determining reactions between a foot pump and ground given a 250N applied force. 2) Calculating the magnitude and direction of reaction at a pin given an unstretched spring length. 3) Calculating internal loads near an elbow joint given forearm and beverage masses. Solutions are provided for each problem in the form of reaction magnitudes and directions.

    Week 1: Lecture Examples

    Problem 1: Consider a manual foot pump,


    used to inflate bicycle and car tires. If the
    250N force is applied as shown, determine
    the reactions between the pump and the
    ground.

    Vo VE
    Problem 2: Consider the mechanism shown. Calculate the magnitude and direction of the
    reaction at pin O. The unstretched length of springAns:
    EF isH300 mm.
    E =64.7 N, Vo=66.2 N, VE =175.3 N
    Problem 3: Consider the following Biomechanical problem. Calculate the internal
    Ans: R=1512 loads
    N, horiz to right
    acting near the elbow joint of the beverage technician below, at section A-A. The mass of the
    beverage and container is 0.8 kg, and the mass of his forearm is 3.0 kg.

    0.4 m

    Ans: N=0 N, V=37.2 N, M=9.0 Nm
