5. A large symmetrical drum for drying sand is operated by the geared motor
drive shown. If the mass of the sand is 750 kg and an average gear-tooth force of
2.6 kN is supplied by the motor pinion A to the drum gear normal to the
contacting surfaces at B, calculate the average offset x of the center of mass G
of the sand from the vertical centerline. Neglect all friction in the supporting
rollers.

6. It is desired that a person be able to begin closing the van hatch from the open
position shown with a 40-N vertical force P. As a design exercise, determine the
necessary force in each of the two hydraulic struts AB. The center of gravity of
the 40-kg door is 37.5 mm directly below point A. Treat the problem as two-
dimensional.
7. The small crane is mounted on one side of the bed of a pickup truck. For
the position q=40o, determine magnitude of the force supported by the pin
at O and the oil pressure p against the 50-mm diameter piston of the
hydraulic cylinder BC.

8. The toggle switch consists of a cocking lever that is pinned to a fixed frame at A and
held in place by the spring which has an unstretched length of 200 mm. The cocking lever
rests against a smooth peg at B. Determine the magnitude of the support force at A and
the normal force on the peg at B when the lever is in the position shown.

10. Pulley A delivers a steady torque of 100 N.m to a pump through its shaft at C. The
tension in the lower side of the belt is 600 N. The driving motor B has a mass of 100
kg and rotates clockwise. As a design consideration, determine the magnitude of the
force on the supporting pin at O.

13. Plate AB contains a smooth parabolic slot. Fixed pins B and C are
located at the positions shown in the figure. The equation of the parabolic
slot is given as y = x2/160 , where x and y are in mm. If it is known that the
force input P = 4 N, determine the forces applied to the plate by the pins B
and C and also the force output Q.
