PROBLEM 3.

It is known that a vertical force of 200 lb is required to remove the


nail at C from the board. As the nail first starts moving, determine
(a) the moment about B of the force exerted on the nail, (b) the
magnitude of the force P that creates the same moment about B if
α 10°, (c) the smallest force P that creates the same moment
about B.

SOLUTION

(a) We have MB rC/B FN


(4 in.)(200 lb)
800 lb in.

or MB 800 lb in.

(b) By definition, MB rA/B P sin


10 (180 70 )
120
Then 800 lb in. (18 in.) P sin120

or P 51.3 lb
(c) For P to be minimum, it must be perpendicular to the line joining
Points A and B. Thus, P must be directed as shown.
Thus MB dPmin
d rA/B

or 800 lb in. (18 in.) Pmin

or Pmin 44.4 lb Pmin 44.4 lb 20°

PROBLEM 3.5

A 300-N force is applied at A as shown. Determine


(a) the moment of the 300-N force about D, (b) the
magnitude and sense of the horizontal force applied at C
that creates the same moment about D, (c) the smallest
force applied at C that creates the same moment about D.

SOLUTION

(a) See Problem 3.3 for the figure and analysis leading to the determination of MD
MD 41.7 N m

(b) Since C is horizontal C C i

MD r C i C (0.125 m)k
41.7 N m (0.125 m)(C )
C 333.60 N C 334 N
(c) The smallest force C must be perpendicular to DC; thus, it forms with the vertical

PROBLEM 3.8

A 20-lb force is applied to the control rod AB as shown. Knowing that the length
of the rod is 9 in. and that the moment of the force about B is 120 lb · in. clockwise,
determine the value of α.

SOLUTION

Free-Body Diagram of Rod AB:

Q (20 lb) cos

and MB (Q )(9 in.)

Therefore, 120 lb-in. (20 lb)(cos )(9 in.)


120 lb-in.
cos
180 lb-in.
or 48.190
Therefore, 48.190 25 23.2
