A straight, uniform bar weighing 60lb rests in a horizontal positon between two frictionless slopes. A concentrated load of 200lb acts at distance x from the right hand slope. Determine x and reaction forces assuming that the bar is in static equilibrium.

Q.4) The rod is supported by journal bearings at A, B and C and subjected to a force of 500 N (in y-z plane) and a couple moment of 400 N-m as shown below. The bearings are in proper alignment and exert only force reactions on the rod. Derive the static equilibrium equations for the rod shown and find the force reactions at the bearings. 500 N 0.3 m 0.4 m 42° 400 N.m B 0.1 m 0.2 m

Find the true magnitude and direction of the forces at the supports A and B in the case of static equili

A metal rod of mass M = 6 kg and length L = 0.5 m, is attached at one end by a hinge to a vertical wall. It is initially supported at the other end so that it is in static equilibrium and lies horizontally. hinge support (a) (i) Determine the magnitude and direction of the force on the bar due to the support. (ii) Determine the magnitude and direction of the force on the bar due to the hinge. (b) Show that the moment of inertia of the bar about the end that is attached to the wall is ly = 0.5 kg m2 (c) The support is removed and the bar swings down about the end attached to the hinge. What is the acceleration of a point on the end of the rod just after the support is removed (at this instant the acceleration vector will point directly down)? Give your result in terms of g.
