PROBLEM SOLUTIONS wa XV xxix AXX TO THE INSTRUCTOR As indicated in its preface, Vector Mechanics for Engineers: Staties is designed for the first course in statics offered in the sophomore year of college. New concepts have, therefore, been presented in simple terms and every step has been explained in detail. However, bee of the large number of optional sections which have been included and the maturity of approach which has been achieved, this text can also be used to teach a course which will challenge the more advanced student The text has been divided into units, each corresponding 10 a well-defined topie and consisting of one or several theory sections, one or several Sample Problems, a section entitled Solving Problems on Your Own, and a large number of problems to be assigned. To assist instructors in making up a schedule of iignments that will best fit their classes, the various topics covered in the text have been listed in Table I and a suggested number of periods to be spent on each topic has been indicated, Both a minimum and a maximum number of periods have heen suggested, and the topics which form the standard b course in statics have been separated from those which are optional. The total number of periods required to teach the basic material varies from 26 to 39, while covering the entire text would require from 41 to 65 periods. If allowance is made for the time spent for review and exams, it is seen that this text is equally suitable for teaching a basic staties course to students with limited preparation (since this ean be done in 39 periods or less) and for teaching a more complete staties course to advanced students (since 41 periods or more are necessary to cover the entire text). In most instances, of course, the instructor will want to include some, but not all, of the additional material presented in the text. In addition, it is noted that the text is suitable for teaching an abridged course in statics which can be used as an introduction to the study of dynamies (see Table 1), ‘The problems have been grouped according to the portions of material they illustrate and have been arranged in order of increasing difficulty, with problems requiring special attention indicated by asterisks. We note that, in most cases, problems have been arranged in groups of six or more, all problems of the same group boeing closely related. This means that instructors will easily find additional problems to amplify @ particular point which they may have brought up in discussing a problem assigned for homework. A group of problems designed to be solved with computational software can be found at the end of each chapter. Solutions for these problems, including analyses of the problems and problem solutions and output for the most widely used computational programs, are provided at the instructor s edition of the text’s website: http://ww.mbhe.comy/beerjohnston To assist in the preparation of homework assignments, Table I provides a brief description of all groups of problems and a classification of the problems in each group according, to the units used, It should also be noted that the answers to all problems are given at the end of the text, except for those with a number in italic, Because of the large number of problems available in both systems of units, the instructor has the choice of assigning problems using SI units and problems using U.S. customary units in whatever proportion is found to be most desivable for a given class, To illustrate this point, sample lesson schedules are shown in Tables III, IV, id V, together with various alternative lists igned homework problems. Half of the problems in cach of the six lists suggested in Table HI and Table V are stated in SI units of a and half in. U.S. customary units, On the other hand, 75% of the problems in the four lists suggested in Table TV are stated in SI units and 25% in U.S. customary units. Since the approach used in this text differs in a number of respeets from the approach used in other books, instructors will be well advi sed to read the preface to Vector Mechanics for Engineers, in which the authors have outlined their general philosophy. In addition, will find in the following pages a by chapter, of the more int features of this text, Tt is hoped that this material will help instructors in organizing their courses to best fit the needs their students. The authors wish to acknowledge and thank Amy Mazurek of Williams Memorial Institute for her careful preparation of the solutions contained in this manual. E, Russell Johnston, Jr. David Mazurek Elliot R Eisenberg DESCRIPTION OF THE MATERIAL CONTAINED IN VECTOR MECHANICS FOR ENGINEERS: STATICS, Ninth Edition Chapter 1 Introduction The material in this chapter can be used as a first assignment or for later reference. The six fundamental principles listed in See. 1.2 are introduced separately and are discussed at greater length in the following chapters. Scetion 1.3 deals with the two systems of units used in the text. The SI metric units are discussed first. The base units are defined and the use of multiples and submultiples. is explained. The various Si prefixes are presented in Table 1.1, while the principal SI units used in statics and dynamics are listed in Table 1.2. In the second part of Sec. 1.3, the base U.S. customary units used in mechanics are defined, and in Sec. 1.4, it is shown how numerical data stated in U.S. customary units can be converted into SI units, and vice versa. The SI equivalents of the prineipal U.S. customary units used in statics and dynamies are listed in Table 1.3. ‘The instructor’s attention is called to the fact that the various rules relating to the use of ST units have been observed throughout the text For instance, multiples and submultiples (such as KN and mm) are used whenever possible to avoid writing more than four digits to the left of the decimal point or zeros to the right of the decimal point, When 5-digit or larger numbers involving SI units are used, spaces rather than commas are utilized to separate digits into groups of three (for example, 20 000 km). Also, prefixes are never used in the denominator of derived units; for example, the constant of a spring which stretches 20 mm under a load of 100 N is expressed as 5 kN/m, not as 5 N/mm. In order to achieve as much uniformity as possible between results expressed respectively in Sl and U.S. customary units, a center point, rather than a hyphen, has been used to combine the symbols representing U.S. customary units (for example, 10 Ib ft); furthermore, the unit of time has been represented by the symbol s, rather than sec, whether SI or U.S. customary units are involved (for example, 5 s, 50 fvs, 15 m/s). However, the traditional use of commas to separate digits into groups of three has been maintained for S-digit and larger numbers involving U.S, customary units. Chapter 2 Staties of Particles This is the first of two chapters dealing with the fundamental properties of force systems, A simple, intuitive classification of forces has been used: forces acting on a particle (Chap. 2) and forces acting on a rigid body (Chap. 3) Chapter 2 begins with the parallelogram law of addition of forces and with the introduction of the fundamental properties of vectors. In the text, forces and other vector quantities are always shown in bold-face type. Thus, a force F (boldface), which is a vector quantity, is clearly distinguished from the magnitude F (italic) of the force, which is a scalar quantity. On the blackboard and in handwritten work, where bold-face lettering is not practical, vector quantities can be indicated by underlining. Both the magnitude and the direction of a vector quantity must be given to completely define that quantity, Thus, a force F of magnitude F = 280 Ib, directed upward to the right at an angle of 25° with the horizontal, is indicated as F = 280 tb <<”. 25° when printed or as F = 280 th <<” 25° when handwritten. Unit vectors i and j are introduced in Sec. 2.7, where the rectangular components of forces are considered. In the carly sections of Chap. 2 the following basic topics are presented: the equilibrium of a particle, Newton’s first law, and the concept of the free-body diagram. These first sections provide a review of the methods of plane trigonometry and familiarize the students with the proper use of a calculator. A general procedure for the solution of problems involving concurrent forces is given; when a problem involves only three forces, the use of a force triangle and a trigonometric solution is preferred; when a problem involves more than three forces, the forces should be resolved info. rectangular components and the equations EF = 0, EF y= 0 should be used The second part of Chap. 2 deals with forces in space and with the equilibrium of particles in space. Unit vectors are used and forces are expressed in the form F= Ii + Aj + F Fi, where i, j, and k are the unit vectors directed respectively along the x, y, and z axes, and 2 is the unit vector directed along the line of action of F, Note that since this chapter deals only with particles or bodies which can be considered as particles, problems involving compression members have been postponed with only a few exceptions until Chap. 4, where students will learn to handle rigid-body problems in a uniform fashion and will not be tempted to erroneously assume that forces are concurrent or that reactions are directed along members, It should be observed that when SI units are used a body is generally specified by its mass expressed in kilograms, The weight of the body, however, should be expressed in newtons. Therefore, in many equilibrium problems involving SI units, an additional ealeulation is, required before a free-body diagram can be drawn (compare the example in Sec. 2.11 and Sample Probs. 2.5 and 2.9). This apparent disadvantage of the SI system of units, when compared to the U.S. customary units, will be offset in dynamics, where the mass of a body expressed in kilograms can be entered directly into the equation F = na, whereas with U.S. customary units the mass of the body must first be determined in Ib - s*/fi (or slugs) from, its weight in pounds. Chapter 3 Rigid Bodie Equivalent stems of Forces The principle of transmissibility is presented as the basic assumption of the statics of rigid bodies. However, itis pointed out that this principle can be derived from Newton s three laws of motion (see Sec, 16.5 of Dynamics). ‘The vector product is then introduced and used to define the moment of a force about a point. The convenience of using the determinant form (Egs. 3.19 and 3.21) to express the moment of a force about a point should be noted, The scalat product and the mixed triple product are introduced and used (0 define the moment of a force about an axis. Again, the convenience of using the determinant form (Egs. 3.43 and 3.46) should be noted. The amount of time which should be assigned to this part of the chapter will depend on the extent to which vector algebra has been considered and used in prerequisite mathematics and physics courses. It is felt that, even with no previous knowledge of vector algebra, a maximum of four periods is adequate (see Table 1) In Sees. 3.12 through 3.15 couples are introduced, and it is proved that couples are equivalent if they have the same moment. While this fundamental property of couples is often taken for granted, the authors believe that its rigorous and logical proof is necessary if rigor and logic are to be demanded of the students in the solution of their mechanics problems In Sections 3.16 through 3.20, the concept of equivalent systems of forces is carefully presented. This concept is made more intuitive through the extensive use of free-body-diagram equations (see Figs. 3.39 through 3.46), Note that the moment of a force is either not shown or is represented by a green vector (Figs. 3.12 and 3.27). A red veetor with the symbol ) is used only to represent a couple, that is, an actual system consisting of two forces (Figs. 3.38 through 3.46). Section 3.21 is optional; it introduces the concept of a wrench and shows how the most general system of forces in space can be reduced to this combination of a force and a couple with the same line of aetion. Since one of the purposes of Chap. 3 is to familiarize students with the fundamental operations of vector algebra, students should be encouraged to solve all problems in this chapter (two-dimensional as well as three- dimensional) using the methods of vector algebra. However, many students may be expected to develop solutions of their own, particularly in the case of two-dimensional problems, based on the direct computation of the moment of a force about a given point as the product of the magnitude of the force and the perpendicular distance to the point lered. Such alternative solutions may onallly be indicated by the instructor (as in Sample Prob. 3.9), who may then wish to compare the solutions of the sample problems of this chapter with the solutions of the same sample problems given in Chaps. 3 and 4 of the parallel text Mechanics for Engineers. It should be pointed out that in later chapters the use of vector products will generally be reserved for the solution of three-dimensional problems Chapter 4 Equilibrium of Rigid Bodies In the first part of this chapter, problems involving the equilibrium of rigid bo two dimensions are considered and solved ing ordinary algebra, problems involving three dimensions and requiring the full use of vector algebra are discussed in the second part of the chapter. Particular emphasis is placed on the correct drawing and use of free-body diagrams and on the types of reactions produced by various supports and connections (see Figs. 4.1 and 4,10). Note that a distinction is made between hinges used in pairs and hinges used alone; in the first case the reactions consist only of force components, while in the second case the reactions may, if necessary, include couples, while For a rigid body in two dimensions, it is shown (Sec. 4.4) that no more than three independent equations can be written for a given free body, so that a problem involving the equilibrium of a single rigid body can be solved for no more than three unknowns. It is. also shown that it is possible to choose equilibrium equations containing only one unknown to avoid the necessity of solving simultaneous equations. Section 4.5 introduces the concepts of statical indeterminacy and partial constraints, Sections 4.6 and 4.7 are devoted to the equilibrium of two- and three- force bodies; it is shown how these concepts can be used to simplify the solution of certain problems. This topic is presented only after the general case of equilibrium of a rigid body to lessen the possibility of students misusing this particular method of solution. The equilibrium of a rigid body in three dimensions is considered with full emphasis placed on the five-body diagram. While the tool of vector algebra is freely used to simplify the computations involved, vector algebra does not, and indeed cannot, replace the free-body diagram as the focal point of an equilibrium problem, Therefore, the solution of every sample problem in this section begins with a reference to the drawing of a free-body diagram, Emphasis is also placed on the fact that the number of unknowns and the number of equations must be equal if a structure is to be statically determinate and completely constrained ‘Chapter 5 istributed Forces: Centroids and Cente of Gravity Chapter S starts by defining the center of gravity of a body as the point of application of the resultant of the weights of the various particles forming the body. This definition is then used to establish the concept of the of an area or line. Section 5.4 introduces the concept of the first moment of an area or line, a concept fundamental to the analysis of shearing stresses in beams in a later study of mechanics of materials. All problems assigned for the first period involve only areas and lines made of simple geometric shapes; thus, they can be solved without using calculus. centroid Section 5.6 explains the use of differential elements in the determination of centroids by integration, The theorems of Pappus-Guldinus are given in Sec. 5.7. Sections 5.8 and 5.9 are optional; they show how the resultant of a distributed load can be determined by evaluating an area and by locating its centroid, Sections 5.10 through 5.12 deal with centers of gravity and centroids of volumes. Here again the determination of the centroids of composite shapes precedes the calculation of centroids by integration. It should be noted that when SI units are used, a given material is generally characterized by its density (mass per unit volume, expressed in kg/m’), rather than by its specific weight (weight per unit volume, expressed in N/m’), The specific weight of the material can then be obtained by multiplying its density by g = 9.81 mis’ (see footnote, page 222 of the text). Chapter 6 Analysis of Structures In this chapter students learn to determine the internal forces exerted on the members of pin- connected structures. The chapter starts with the statement of Newton s third law (action and reaction) and is divided into two parts: (a) trusses, that is, structures consisting of two-force members only, (b) frame and machines, that is, structures involving multiforce members. After trusses and simple trusses have been defined in Secs. 6.2 and 6.3, the method of joints and the method of sections are explained in detail in See. 6.4 and See. 6.7, respectively. Since a discussion of Maxwell’s diagram is not included in this text, the use of Bow’s notation has been avoided, and a uniform notation has been used in presenting the method of joints and the method of sections In the method of joints, a free-body diagram should be drawn for each pin, Since all forces are of known direction, their magnitudes, rather than their components, should be used as unknowns. Following the general procedure outlined in Chap. 2, joints involving only three forces are solved using a force triangle, while joints involving more than three forces are solved by summing x and p components. Sections 6.5 and 6.6 are optional, It is shown in See. 6.5 how the analysis of certain trusses can be expedited by recognizing joints under special loading conditions, while in Scc. 6.6 the method of joints is applicd to the solution of three- mensional trusses. It is pointed out in Sec. 6.4 that forces in a simple truss can be determined by analyzing the truss joint by joint and that joints can always be found’ that involve only two unknown forces, The method of sections (See. 6.7) should be used (4) if only the forces in a few members are desired, or (6) if the truss is not a simple truss and if the solution of simultaneous equations is to be avoided (for example, Fink truss). Students should be urged to draw a separate frve-body diagram for each section used, The free body obtained should be emphasized by shading and the intersected members should be removed and replaced by the forces they exerted on the free body. It is shown that, through a judicious choice of equilibrium equations, the foree in any given member can be obtained in most cases by solving a single equation. Section 6.8 is optional; it deals with the trusses obtained by combining several simple trusses and discusses the statical determinacy of such structures as well as the completeness of th: constraints. Structures involving multiforee members are separated into frames and machines. Frames are designed to support loads, while machines are designed to transmit and modify forces. It is shown that while some frames remain rigid after they have been detached from their supports, others will collapse (Sec, 6.11), In the latter case, the equations obtained by considering the entire frame as a free body provide necessary but not sufficient conditions for the equilibrium of the frame. It is then necessary to dismember the frame and to consider the equilibrium of its component parts in order to determine the reactions at the extemal supports. The same procedure is necessary with most machines in order to determine the output force Q from the input force P or inversely (Sec. 6.12). Students should be urged to resolve a fore of unknown magnitude and direction into two components but to represent a force of known direction by a single unknown, namely its magnitude. While this rule may sometimes result in slightly more complicated arithmetic, it has the advantage of matching the numbers of equations and unknowns and thus makes it possible for students to know at any time during the computations what is known and ‘what is yet to be determined. Chapter 7 Forces in Beams and Cables This chapter consists of five groups of sections, all of which are optional. The first three groups deal with forces in beams and the last two groups with forces in cables Most likely the instructor will not have time to cover the entire chapter and will have to choose between beams and cables. Section 7.2 defines the internal forces in a member. While these forces are limited to tension or compression in a straight two-force member, they include a shearing force and a bending couple in the case of multiforce members or curved two-force members. Problems in this scetion do not make use of sign conventions for shear and bending moment and answers should specify which part of the member is used as the free body. In Sees, 7.3 through 7.5 the usual. sign conventions are introduced and shear and bending-moment diagrams are drawn, All problems in these sections should be solved by drawing the free-body diagrams of the various portions of the beams. The relations among load, shear, and bending moment are introduced in Sec. 7.6. Problems in this section should be solved by evaluating areas under load and shear curves or by formal integration (as in Probs. 7.87 and 7.88). Some instructors may feel that the special methods used in this section detract from the unity achieved in the rest of the text through the use of the free-body diagram, and they may wish to omit See, 7.6. Others will feel that the study of shear and bending- moment diagrams is incomplete without this section, and they will want to include it, The latter view is particularly justified when the course in staties is immediately followed by a course in mechanics of materials. Sections 7.7 through 7.9 are devoted to st with concentrated loads and then stributed loads. In both cases, the is based on free-body diagrams. The al-equation approach is considered in the last problems of this group (Probs. 7.124 through 7.126). Seetion 7.10 is devoted to catenaries and requires the use of hyperbolic funetions. Chapter 8 Friction This chapter not only introduces the general topic of friction but also provides an opportunity for students to consolidate their knowledge of the methods of analysis presented in Chaps. 2, 3, 4, and 6. It is recommended that each course in statics include at least a portion of this chapter. The first group of sections (Secs. 8.1 through 8.4) is devoted to the presentation of the laws of dry friction and to their application to various problems. The different cases which can be encountered are illustrated by diagrams in Figs. 8.2, 8.3, and 8.4. Particular ‘emphasis is placed on the fact that no relation between the friction forve and the normal exis force except when motion is impending or when motion is actually taking place. Following the general procedure outlined in Chap. 2, problems involving only three forces are solved by a force triangle, while problems involving more than three forces are solved by summing x and y components. In the first case the reaction of the surface of contact should be represented by the resultant R of the friction force and normal force, while in the second case it should be resolved into its nts F Special applications of friction are considered in Secs. 8.5 through 8.10. They are divided into the following groups: wedges and screws (Sees. 8.5 and 8.6); axle and disk friction, rolling resistance (Sees. 8.7 through 8.9); belt friction (Sec. 8.10). The sections on axle and disk friction and on rolling resistance are not essential to the understanding of the rest of the text and thus may be omitted. Chapter 9 Distributed Forces Moments of Inertia The purpose of Sec. 9.2 is to give motivation to the study of moments of inertia of areas, ‘Two examples are considered: one deals with the pure bending of a beam and the other with the hydrostatic forces exerted on a submerged circular gate. It is shown in each case that the solution of the problem reduces to the computation of the moment of inertia of an area, The other sections in the first assignment are devoted to the definition and the computation of rectangular moments of inertia, polar moments of inertia, and the corresponding radii of gyration. It is shown how the same differential element can be used to determine the moment of inertia of an area about each of the two coordinate axes. Sections 9.6 and 9.7 introduce the parallel- axis theorem and its application to the determination of moments of inertia of composite areas. Particular emphasis is placed on the proper use of the parallel-axis theorem (sce Sample Prob. 9.5). Sections 9.8 through 9.10 are optional; they are devoted to products of inertia and to the determination of principal axes of inertia. Sections 9.11 through 9.18 deal with the moments of inertia of masses, Particular emphasis is placed on the moments of iner of thin plates (Sec. 9.13) and on the use of these plates as differential elements the computation of moments of of symmetrical three-dimensional bodies (Sec. 9.14), Sections 9.16 through 9.18 are optional but should be used whenever the following dynamics course includes the motion of rigid bodies in three dimensions. Sections 9.16 and 9.17 introduce the moment of inertia of a body with respect to an arbitrary axis as weil as the concepts of mass products of inertia and principal axes of inettia. Section 9.18 discusses the determination of the principal axes and principal moments of inertia of a body of arbitrary shape. ‘When solving many of the problems of Chap. 5, information on the specific weight of a mate~ rial was generally required. This information w ily available in. problems stated in U.S. customary units, while it had to be obtained from the density of the material in problems stated in St units (see the last paragraph of our discussion of Chap. 5). In Chap. 9, when SI units are used, the mass and ‘mass moment of inertia of a given body are respectively obtained in kg and kg - m? directly from the dimensions of the body in meters and from its density in kg/m’, However, if U.S. customary units are used, the density of the body must first be calculated from its specific weight or, alternatively, the weight of the body can be obtained from its dimensi and specific weight and then converted the corresponding mass expressed in Ib + s (or slugs). The mass moment of inertia of the body is then obtained in Ib - f= s?(or slug - 1), Sample Problem 9.12 provides an example of such a computation, Attention is also called to the footnote on page of the $13 regarding the read conversion of mass moments of inertia from U.S, customary units to St units. Chapter 10 should give serious consideration to its inclu- sion in the basic staties course, Indeed, stud who lea the method of virtual work in their first course in mechanics will remember it as 4 fundamental and natural principle. They may, on the other hand, consider it as an attificial device if its presentation is postponed toa more advanced course. ‘The first group of sections (Sees. 10.2 through 10.5) is devoted to the derivation of the prin- ciple of virtual work and to its direct application to the solution of equilibrium problems. The second group of sections (Sees. 10.6 through 10.9) introduces the concept of potential energy and shows that equilibrium requires that the derivative of the potential energy be zero. Section 10,5 defines the mechanical efficieney of a machine and Sec. 10.9 discusses the stability of equilibrium, The first groups of problems in each assis ment utilize the principle of virtual work as an alternative method for the computation of unknown forees. Subsequent problems call for the determination of positions of equilibrium, while other problems combine the conventional methods of statics with the method of virtual ‘work fo determine displacements (Probs, 10.55 through 10.58).
