Shown below is a figure of a landing gear configuration on the VS and VD planes (for landing gear the directions V, D, and S are often used instead of x, y and z) This gear unit is assumed to represent one side of the main gear on a tricycle type of the landing gear system. The loading assumed corresponds to a condition of nose wheel up or tail down. The design load on the wheel is vertical and it s magnitude for this problem is 15,000 lbf. Determine the reactions at F, H, and G. The fittings at F and H are pinned and therefore cannot transmit any bending moments. The fitting at G is also a pinned fitting.

Question

Shown below is a figure of a landing gear configuration on the VS and VD planes (for landing gear the directions V, D, and S are often used instead of x, y and z) This gear unit is assumed to represent one side of the main gear on a tricycle type of the landing gear system. The loading assumed corresponds to a condition of nose wheel up or tail down. The design load on the wheel is vertical and it s magnitude for this problem is 15,000 lbf.

Determine the reactions at F, H, and G. The fittings at F and H are pinned and therefore cannot transmit any bending moments. The fitting at G is also a pinned fitting.
