Flexible cable, belt, chain, or rope Weight of cable negligible + Weight of cable not negligible Force exerted by a flexible cable is always a tension away from the body in the direction of the cable. 2. Smooth surfaces Contact force is compressive and is normal to the surface. 3. Rough surfaces me Rough surfaces are capable of supporting in. a tangential compo- nent F (frictional R force) as well as a A normal component N N of the resultant contact force R. 4. Roller support SS Cee Roller, rocker, or ball support transmits a compressive force normal to the supporting surface. 5, Freely sliding guide Collar or slider free to move along smooth guides; can support force normal to guide only.‘MODELING THE ACTION OF FORCES IN TWO-DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS (cont.) ‘Type of Contact and Force Origin’ ‘Action on Body to Be Isolated 6. Pin connection & Pin free to turn A freely hinged pin connection is capable o of supporting a force z in any direction in the a n plane normal to the IR, pin axis. We may either show two components Ry and R, ora magnitude R and direction 8. A pin not froo to turn also supports a couple M. Pin not free to turn 7. Built-in or fixed support [A A A built-in or fixed support is capable of supporting an axial foree F, a transverse Weld force V (shear foree), and a couple M (bending moment) to prevent rotation. 8.
