Rey Jay M. Dacar Statics of Rigid Bodies

BSEE III - 8 Comprehensive Examination

Part 1:
1. Dynamics
2. Statics
3. Particle
4. Rigid bodies
5. Concentrated force
6. Scalar
7. Vector
8.

Part 2:
1. Three Laws of Motion
First Law An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with
the same speed and in the same direction unless there is an unbalance force acted
upon on it
Second Law The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly
proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and
inversely proportional to the mass of the object.
Third Law in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting
objects. The size of the forces on the first object equals the size of the force on the
second object. The direction of the force on the first object is opposite to the direction of
the force on the second object. Forces always come in pairs - equal and opposite action-
reaction force pairs.

2. Equilibrium
- State of stable conditions in which all significant factors remain more or less constant
over a period, and there is little or no inherent tendency for change. For example, a
market is said to be in equilibrium if the amount of goods that buyers wish to buy at the
current price is matched by the amount the sellers want to sell at that price. Also called
steady state.
Part 3:
1.) Determine the magnitude of the resultant force and its direction measured
counterclockwise from the positive x axis. (10 points)

Using triangle method:

= 180 - 60 - 45
= 75

FR = 4002 + 2502 -2(400)(250)(cos75)

FR = 413.20 N
sin sin75
=
400 413.20
sin(413.20) = sin75(400)
= 35.760
= 60 - 35.76
= 24.240
2.) Determine the mass of each of the two cylinders if they cause a sag of s = 0.5 m when
suspended from the rings at A and B. Note that s = 0 when the cylinders are removed. (15
points)

S1 = 22 + 1.52
S1 = 2.5 m

S2 = 22 + 22
S2 = 22 m

F = sk
= (22 - 2.5)(100)
F = 32.84 N

= tan (22)
= 450

Fy = 0
Let:
W = weight of a cylinder
2(32.84)(sin45) - 2W = 0
W = 23.22 N

The mass of a cylinder (M)

23.22 N
M= =
9.81 m/s2

M = 2.37 kg
3.) Determine the maximum mass of the crate so that the tension developed in any cable
does not exceeded 3 kN. (15 points)

FAB = FAB i
FAC = -FAC j

FAD = FAD ( (20)i +(20)j +(10)k

(2 0)2 + (2 0)2 + (1 0)2
)
2 2 1
FAD = - 3 FADi + 3FADj + + 3FADk

W = [-m(9.81)k]
Since,
F = 0
FAB + FAC + FAD - W = 0
2 2 1
FABi + (-FACj) + (- 3 FADi + 3FADj + + 3FADk) + [-m(9.81)k]
2 2 1
(FAB - 3FAD)i + (-FAC + 3FAD) + (3FAD - 9.81m)k

By i, j and k components:
2
FAB - 3FAD = 0
2
FAC + 3FAD = 0
1
FAD - 9.81m = 0
3

Since the FAD = 0, then the mass of the crate is:

1
(3000) - 9.81m = 0
3
m = 101.94 kg
4.) Determine the force in each member of the truss and state if the members are in tension
or compression. Set P1 = 2 kN and P2 = 1.5 kN. Use method of joints.

Joint C:
+Fy = 0
sin30(FCB) - 1.5 = 0
FCB = 3 kN (T)
+Fx = 0
FCD + 3(cos30) = 0
FCD = -2.6
FCD = 2.6 kN (C)

Joint D:
+Fx = 0
FDE 2 = 0
FDE = 2 kN (T)

+Fy = 0
FDB + 2.6 = 0
FDB = -2.6
FDB = 2.6 kN (C)

Joint B:
+Fy = 0
FBE(cos30) + 2(cos30) = 0
FBE = -2
FBE = 2 kN (C)

+Fx = 0
(2+2)(sin30) + 3 FBA
FDB = 5 kN (T)
5.) Determine the force in members GE, GC, and BC of the truss shown in Fig. 2. Indicate
whether the members are in tension or compression. Use the method of sections.

+Fx = 0
400 Ax = 0
Ax = 400 N

MC = 0
1200(8) + 400(3) Dy(12) = 0
Dy = 900 N

+Fy = 0
Ay -1200 +900 = 0
Ay = 300 N
At point G:
MG = 0
-300(4) 400(3) FBC(3) = 0
FBC = 800 (T)

At point C:
MC = 0
300(8) +FGE(3) = 0
FGE = -800 N
FGE = 800 N (C)

+Fy = 0
3
300 ( )FGC = 0
5
FGC 500 N (T)
6.) Determine the horizontal and vertical components of reaction that pins A and B exert on
the two-member frame. Set F = 500 N.

At member AC:
MA = 0
-Cx(1.5sin60) + Cy(1.5cos60) + 600(0.75) = 0

At member CB:
MB = 0
-500(1) + Cx(1) + Cy(1) = 0
Therefore:
Cx = 402.63 N
Cy = 97.37 N

At member AC:
+Fx = 0
-Ax + 600(sin60) 402.63 = 0
Ax = 117 N
+Fy = 0
Ay 600(cos60) 97.37 = 0
Ay = 397.37 N

At member CB:
+Fx = 0
402.63 500 + Bx = 0
Bx = 97.37 N
+Fy = 0
-By +97.37 = 0
By = 97.37 N
7.) The wall crane supports a load of 700 lb. Determine the horizontal and vertical
components of reaction at the pins A and D. Also, what is the force in the cable at the winch
W?

Fy = 2T - 700 = 0
T = 350 lb
Member ABC:
MA = 0
By(4) - 700(8) - 100(4) - (350sin60)(4) = 0
By = 1803.11 lb
Fy = 0
-Ay - 350sin60 -100 -700 + 1803.11 = 0
Ay = 700 lb
Fx = 0
Ax - 350cos60 - Bx + 350 - 350 = 0
Ax - Bx = 350cos60-350+350
Ax Bx= 175lbs.

Member DB:
MD = 0
-40(2) - 1803.11(4) + Bx = 0
Bx = 1823.11 lb
Fx = 0
-Dx + 1823.11 = 0
Dx + 1823.11 lb
FY = 0
Dy - 40 1803.11 = 0
Dy = 1843.11 lb
Since, Ax - Bx = 175
Ax = 175 + 1823.11
Ax = 1998.11 lb
8.) Determine the horizontal and vertical components of force at pins A and C of the two-
member frame.

Fx = fd
= (3)(600)
Fx = 1800 N

Fy = fd
= (500N/m+400N/m)(3)
= 900(3)
Fy = 2700 N
9.) Determine the force in members AB, AD, and AC of the space truss and state if the
members are in tension or compression.
