AME 352, Fall 13, Answers to HW-12

Spring force: Fs = 35(6.25 4.0) = 78.75

Weights: W2 = 245, W3 = 29.4, W4 = 39.2
(1) Graphical, Power Formula:
W2 VG 2 + W3 VG 3 + W4 VG 4 + Fs VB + T2 2 = m2 A G 2 VG 2 + m3A G 3 VG 3 + m4 A G 4 VG 4

+ I 2 2 2 + I 3 3 3 + I 4 4 4
The forces/moment, the
corresponding application point
velocities, and the linear
accelerations are shown. We
measure the necessary angles
and evaluate the formula:

(245)(0) + (29.4)(1.42)cos 62 + (39.2)(0.64)cos 53 + (78.75)(1.28)cos112 + T2 (1.6) =

(25)(0)(0)+(3)(1.75)(1.42)cos112 + (4)(0.30)(0.64)cos 43
+ (15)(2.0)(1.6) + (1.5)(1.24)(0.21) + (2)(0.11)(0.32)
This results into T2 = 29.5 (a torque of 29.5 Nm CW).

(3) Analytical, Free-Body-Diagram:
In order to compute the moments, we need the following moment arms:
cos110 0.34
cos 66.7 0.49
cos 66.7 0.49
R AO2 = 1.0
, R AG3 = 1.25
, R BG3 = 1.25
