The system consists of the two smooth spheres, each weighing 3 lb and connected by a light spring, and the two bars of negligible weight hinged freely at their ends and hanging in the vertical plane. The spheres are confined to slide in the smooth horizontal guide. If a horizontal force F = 10 lb is applied to the one bar at the position shown, what is the accelera- tion of the center C of the spring? Why does the re- sult not depend on the dimension b?

The jib crane is designed for a maximum capacity of 14 kN, and its uniform I-beam has a mass of 270 kg. Plot the magnitude R of the force on the pin at A as a function of x through its operating range of x = 0.2 m to x = 4.9 m. On the same set of axes, plot the x- and y- components of the pin reaction at A. Do these plots on a separate piece of paper. Then answer the following questions in Wiley Plus as a check for your work. (a) What is the value of R when x = 2.4 m? (b) What is the value of R when x = 4.5 m? (c) Determine the minimum value of R and the corresponding value of x. (d) For what value of R should the pin at A be designed? 1.6 m Questions: 25° 14 KN -3.5 m (a) If x = 2.4 m, R = (b) If x= 4.5 m, R= (c) The minimum value for R = i (d) The pin should be designed to hold i KN KN kN at x = i kN. m

Balance three masses that lie in one plane as shown below, if it is known that m1 = 2 Kg ; R1 = 150 mm ; θ1 = 45°; m2 = 1 Kg ; R2 = 200 mm ; θ2 = 85⁰ and m3 = 3 Kg R3 = 50 mm θ3 = 160°. Find the balancing masses me and e if Re = 100 mm

Problem Statement Based on Problem 5-87 from the textbook. Both pulleys are fixed to the shaft and as the shaft turns with constant angular velocity, the power of pulley A is tramsitted to pulley B. Determine the horizontal tension T in the belt on pulley B and the x, y, z components of reaciotn at the journal bearing C and thrust bearing D. The bearings are in proper alignment and exrt only force reactions on the shaft. 300 mm 250 mm 200 mm 80 mm D 150 mm F3 F1=70N F2=85N F3=50N Theta=38 degrees
