ASSIGNMENT # 2 ‘The tapered pin is forced into a mating tapered hole in the fixed block with a force, P = 400 N. If the force required to remove the pin is P' = 300 N, calculate the coefficient of friction between the pin and the surface of the hole. (Hint? The pressure normal to the tapered pin surface remains unchanged until the pin actually moves.) Ans. p= 0.122 . ‘The hoisting mechanism for the dump truck is shown in the enlarged view. Determine the compression, P, in the hydraulic cylinder, BB, and the magnitude of the force supported by the pit at forthe particular postion shown where Bis perpendicular to OAE and link, DC, is perpendicular to AC. The dump and its load together have a mass of 9 Mg with center of mass at G. All dimensions for the indicated geometry are given on the figure. Ans. P = 119.0 KN, A = 64.5 kN ‘The tower for a transmission line is modelled by the truss shown. The crossed members in the centre sections of the truss may be assumed capable of supporting tension only. For the loads of 1.8 kN applied in the vertical plane, compate the forces induced in the members, AB, DB, and CD. Ans. AB = 3.89 kN (Comp.), DB = 0, CD = 0.93 kN (Comp.) ‘The 100 kg wheel rolls on its hub up the circular incline under the action of the 25 ‘mass attached to a cord around the rim. Determine the angle, 6, at which the wheel comes to rest, assuming that friction is sufficient to prevent slippage. What is the minimum coefficient of friction that will permit this position to be reached with no slipping? Ans. 8 = 92.2, pain = 0.630 ‘The portable hoist shown is used to raise construction materials to the roof of a building. The hoist has « mags of 50 kg with mass centre ot G. If a 90 kg load is supported by ‘of the force applying the force, F, on the handle of the drum, calculate the magnitude supported by the pin'at A. Ans. A = 1727.N6.
