Statics

The document contains examples of calculating the resultant force and moment of systems of forces acting on rigid bodies. It includes: 1) Calculating the x and y components of a resultant force rotated 30 degrees counterclockwise from the x-y axes. 2) Determining the pressure and resultant force acting on a block being pushed up an inclined plane by its weight, a horizontal force, and the pressure from the plane. 3) Finding the resultant pull on a barge being pulled parallel to canal banks by two horses pulling with tensions of 200 lb and 240 lb at an angle of 60 degrees between the ropes. 4) Computing the moment of individual forces and their resultant about different points.

(BSME – 2B)
220.) THE RESULTANT OF A CERTAIN SYSTEM OF FORCES HAS THE X & Y
COMPONENTS OF THIS RESULTANTS W/ RESPECT TO THE N & T AXES
ROTATED 30 DEGREE COUNTERCLOCKWISE RELATIVE TO THE X & Y
AXES

y
• RY = 480 LB
T
30
N
30 R = 300^2 + 480^2 = 566.04 lb up to the right
x 0x = tan^-1 480/300 = 57.99
• RX = 300 LB
0 = 57.99 – 30 = 27.99
R = 566.04 cos27.99 = 499.81 lb
Rt = 566 sin27.99 = 265.69 lb
223.) THE BLACK SHOWN IN FIG. P – 223 IS ACTED UPON BY ITS WEIGHT
W = 200LB, A HORIZONTAL FORCE Q = 600 LB, THE PRESSURE P EXERTED BY
THE INCLINED PLANE. THE RESULTANT R OF THESE FORCES IS UP & PARALLEL
TO THE INCLINE THEREBY SLIDING THE BLOCK UP IT. DETERMINE P & R. HINT :
TAKE ONE AXIS PARALLEL TO THE INCLINE
224.) TWO HORSES ON OPPOSITE BANKS OF A CANAL PULL A BARGE MOVING
PARALLEL TO THE BANKS BY MEANS OF TWO HORIZONTAL ROPES. THE TENSION IN
THESE ROPES ARE 200 LB & 240 LB WHILE THE ANGLE BETWEEN THEM IS 60
DEGREES. FIND THE RESULTANT PULL ON THE BARGE & THE ANGLE BETWEEN EACH
OF THE ROPES & THE SIDES OF THE CANAL.
226.) IN FIG. P – 226 ASSUMING CLOCKWISE MOMENTS AS
POSITIVE, COMPUTE THE MOMENT OF FORCE F = 450 LB &
OF FORCE P = 361 LB ABOUT POINTS A,B,C, & D.
227.) TWO FORCES P & Q PASS THROUGH A POINT A W/C IS 4FT. TO THE RIGHT
OF & 3FT ABOVE A MOMENT CENTER 0. FORCE P IS 200 LB DIRECTED UP TO THE
RIGHT AT 30 DEGREES W/ THE HORIZONTAL & FORCE Q IS 100LB. DIRECTED UP TO
THE LEFT AT 60 DEGREES W/ THE HORIZONTAL. DETERMINE THE MOMENT OF THE
RESULTANT OF THESE TWO FORCES W/ RESPECT TO 0.
