Quiz No. 3

A stepladder consists of two legs pinned together at the top. To determine if an 800N worker can climb 1.3m high, the forces on each leg must be calculated using their weights and the coefficient of static friction. A homogeneous ladder is trying to be pushed up a wall by a horizontal force P. The minimum P needed to overcome static friction between the ladder and surfaces is sought. Forces in members of various truss structures are to be determined, identifying if each member experiences tension or compression. The minimum force P required to pull a wedge out from under a crate is also calculated using the crate's weight and coefficient of static friction.

1.

A stepladder consisting of two legs pinned together at C is resting on


a rough floor. Will a 800N worker be able to change the light bulb if
he is required to climb to a height of 1.3 m? The uniform legs AC and
BC weigh 110 N and 70 N, respectively. The coefficient of static
friction at A and B is 0.48.

2.

The man is trying to push the homogeneous 20-kg ladder AB up a wall


by applying the horizontal force P. Determine the smallest value of P
that would move the ladder. The coefficient of static friction between
the ladder and both contact surfaces is 0.3.

3.

Determine the forces in the members BD and CD of the


truss in the figure. All triangles are equilateral.

4.

Determine the forces in members AE and DC. State if the


members are in tension or compression.

5.

Determine the smallest force P required to pull out


wedge A. the crate has a weight of 300lb and the
coefficient of static friction at all contacting surfaces is
0.3. Neglect the weight of the wedge.
