IC240– Mechanics of Rigid Bodies

2nd Semester, 2024-2025 Tutorial – 03 Date: 06.02.2025

Instruction:

1. Weights are mentioned against each question (Q1- Q4)


2. Q1 will be discussed by the instructor/tutor and completed by the students.
3. Q2 is to be solved and submit at the end of the class.
4. Q3-Q4 are to be submitted at the beginning of the next tutorial class/within 8th day from today
(whichever is earlier).
5. Q5-Q8 are for further practice.

Q1. A force of magnitude P = 180 N is applied to the stationary machine handle as shown.
(i) Vector Solution: Write the force and moment reactions at O as vectors. Neglect, the weight
of the handle assembly. (ii) Scalar Solution: Solve the reactions at O. (5+5)
Q2. The light right-angle boom which supports the 400-kg cylinder is supported by three
cables and a ball-and-socket joint at O attached to the vertical x-y surface. Determine the
reactions at O and the cable tensions. (15)
Q3. Obtain the scalar solution for the problem Q2. (10)

Q4. An overhead view of a car is shown in the


figure. Two different locations, C and D are
considered for a single jack. In each case, the
entire right side of the car is lifted just off the
ground. Determine the normal reaction forces at
A and B and the vertical jacking force required
for the case of each jacking location. Consider
the 1600-kg car to be rigid. The mass center G is
on the mid-line of the car. (10)

Q5. The spring of modulus k = 90 N/m is stretched a distance δ = 60 mm when the mechanism
is in the position shown. Calculate the force Pmin required to initiate rotation about the hinge
axis BC, and determine the corresponding magnitudes of the bearing forces which are
perpendicular to BC. What is the normal reaction force at D if P= Pmin/2?
Q6. Determine the force components acting on the ball-and-socket at A , the reaction at the
roller B and the tension on the cord CD needed for equilibrium of the quarter circular plate.
HIB-13E-5.68 Ans: NB = 373 N, Az = 333 N, TCD = 43.5 N, Ax = Ay = 0.

Q7.Two traffic signals are attached to the 36-ft support cable at equal intervals as shown.
Determine the equilibrium configuration angles α, β, and γ, as well as the tension in each cable
segment.
Q8.The vertical plane containing the utility cable turns 30˚ at the vertical pole OC. The tensions
T1 and T2 are both 950 N. In order to prevent long-term leaning of the pole, guy wires AD and
BE are utilized. If the two guy wires are adjusted so as to carry equal tensions T, which
together reduce the moment at O to zero, determine the net horizontal reaction at O.
Determine the required value of T. Neglect the weight of the pole.
