- The figure shows a bicycle wheel resting against a small step whose height is h = 0.100 m. The weight and radius of the wheel are W = 20.0 N and r = 0.390 m. A horizontal force is applied to the axle of the wheel. As the magnitude of increases, there comes a time when the wheel just begins to rise up and loses contact with the ground. What is the magnitude of the force when this happens? Number Units ✪ Farrow_forwardA cable spans a horizontal distance L = 67.0 ft , supports a uniform load w = 285 lb/ft , and has a sag h = 5.00 ft . (Figure 2) What are the minimum and maximum forces within the cable?

The shaded shape is supported by Cable 1 and Cable 2 in the position shown (Drawing is NOT to scale). The shape has a uniform weight per unit area of 11kN/m2. Step 1: If A=1.9m, C=0.4m, x=1.2m, y=1.7m, z=3.5m, a = 67°, and B = 18°, find the value of B %3D needed to keep the shape in static equilibrium. Then solve for the tension in Cable 1 (T1) and the tension in Cable 2 (T2). Once you have evaluated your values for B, T1 and T2 it is recommended that you redraw your free body diagram with the correct dimensions, weights, and forces T1x, T1y, T2x, T2y and confirm that you do have your problem correctly in horizontal, vertical, and moment equilibrium. Step 2: Once you have confirmed that you free body diagram is in equilibrium, solve the following equation: Z= T1+T2 Write your final answer for Z (in kN) in the answer box below.

The box weighs 300 N and its centre of gravity is located in the centre of the box (point C). Given: a = 1.8 m b = 0.8 m h= 0.9 m What is the minimum force that will cause the box to tip? Please include the unit ("N") within your answer and round to 3 significant figures (e.g. if the calculated answer was 55.562 Newtons please input: 55.6 N). Answer: What is the minimum coefficient of static friction that will permit tipping to occur? Please do not include the unit s (as there are none) within your answer and round to 3 significant figures (e.g. if the calculated answer was 55.562 please input: 55.6). Answer:arrow_forwardReview Learning Goal: To use the vector cross product to calculate the moment produced by a force, or forces, about a specified point on a member. Part A - Moment due to a force specified by magnitude and endpoints The moment of a force F about the moment axis passing through O and perpendicular to the plane containing O and F can be expressed using the vector cross product, Mo =r x F. In a properly constructed Cartesian coordinate system, the vector cross product can be calculated using a matrix determinant: As shown, a member is fixed at the origin, point O, and has an applied force F, the tension in the rope, applied at the free end, point B. (Figure 1) The force has magnitude F = 180 N and is directed as shown. The dimensions are ¤1 = 0.350 m, x2 = 1.90 m, y1 = 2.30 m, and z1 = 1.20 m. What is the moment about the origin due to the applied force F? i j M =rx F =|rz k Express the individual components of the Cartesian vector to three significant figures, separated by commas. ry F F,…arrow_forward

Determine the magnitude and direction of the resultant force. 10° F, = 150 N F = 100 N %3D 15° Solution : Parallelogram Law. The parallelogram is formed by drawing a line from the head of F1 that is parallel to F2 , and another line from the head of F2 that is parallel to F1 , the resultant force FR extends to where these lines intersect at point A. The two unknowns are the magnitude of ( FR) and the angle ( 0) (theta).arrow_forwardASAParrow_forwardFigure A1 below represents a system of three linear springs attached to a wall.
