the wall as shown. Find the force P required to keep it from sliding down under its own weight. Neglect friction.
2) The scissors mechanism shown is held in equilibrium by
opposing actions of the force P and the spring of stiffness k = 50 (lb/ft) . Given that the dimension a = 1 (ft) and that the spring is unstretched when θ = 45 (deg) , find the force P required to hold the mechanism in equilibrium when θ = 30 (deg) . Neglect the weights of the members.
3) The mechanism shown is used to produce the
crushing force F. Given the force P, find the force F required to hold the mechanism in equilibrium. Note that P is perpendicular to the bar. Neglect the weights of the members.
4) The system shown consists of a bar AB that is held up by a
spring. Because of the action of the roller, the spring always remains horizontal. Given that the mass of the bar is m = 80 (kg), the length of the bar is A = 3 (m) , the stiffness of the spring is k = 2 (kN/m), and that the spring is unstretched when θ = 90 (deg) , find the two equilibrium positions of the bar.
