Problem 70

Solution:

PART I: LOADING ANALYSIS

(a) Tension in the belts

(b) Break the problem into two planes … XY and XZ planes as shown here

(Apply the right hand rule)

Roz Rcz

Roy Rcy

Then … solve each plane separately

Then … using these values … you can develop the Shear and moment diagrams, as seen below.

NOTE: You can use Roy and Roz to find Ro: The Bearing reaction at O, similarly at bearing C

As you can see … Moment at point B is bigger … therefore, it is considered the Critical Point.

Next step: Stress analysis.
