PROBLEM 8.

31

A 6-kip force is applied to the machine element AB as

shown. Knowing that the uniform thickness of the element
is 0.8 in., determine the normal and shearing stresses at
(a) point a, (b) point b, (c) point c.

SOLUTION

Thickness = 0.8 in.

At the section containing points a, b, and c,
P = 6 cos 35° = 4.9149 kips V = 6sin 35° = 3.4415 kips
M = (6sin 35°)(16) − (6cos35°)(8) = 15.744 kip ⋅ in
A = (0.8)(3.0) = 2.4 in 2

 PROBLEM 8.44

Forces are applied at points A and B of the solid cast-iron bracket

shown. Knowing that the bracket has a diameter of 0.8 in., determine
the principal stresses and the maximum shearing stress at (a) point H,
(b) point K.

SOLUTION
At the section containing points H and K,
P = 2500 lb (compression)
Vy = −600 lb
Vx = 0
M x = (3.5 − 1)(600) = 1500 lb ⋅ in
My = 0
M z = −(2.5)(600) = −1500 lb ⋅ in
