DAVE JOSHUA N. BARORO Statics of Rigid Bodies

BSEE III - 8 Comprehensive Examination

Part 1:
1. Dynamics
2. Statics
3. Particle
4. Rigid bodies
5. Concentrated force
6. Scalar
7. Vector
8. Free Body Diagram

Part 2:
1. First Law at rest, having a constant velocity tends to remain in this state
provided the particle is not subjected to an unbalanced load.

Second Law unbalanced force experiences an accelaration has same

direction as the force and magnitude that is directly proportional to the force.

Third Law the mutual force of action between two particles are equal,
opposite and collinear.

2. Equilibrium- is the condition of a system in which all competing influences are balanced.
 Part 3:
Problem #1
Using triangle method:
= 180 - 60 - 45
FR = 4002 + 2502 -2(400)(250)(cos75)
FR = 413.20 N
sin sin75
=
400 413.20
= 35.760
= 60 - 35.76 = 24.240

Problem #2
S1 = 22 + 1.52 = 2.5 m
S2 = 22 + 22 = 22 m
F = sk
= (22 - 2.5)(100)
F = 32.84 N

= tan (22) = 450

Fy = 0 let W weight of a cylinder
2(32.84)(sin45) - 2W = 0
W = 23.22 N
The mass of a cylinder (M)
23.22 N
M= = 2.37 kg
9.81 m/s2

Problem #3
FAB = FAB i
FAC = -FAC j
 FAD = FAD ( (20)i +(20)j +(10)k
(2 0)2 + (2 0)2 + (1 0)2
2 2 1
FAD = - 3 FADi + 3FADj + + 3FADk

W = [-m(9.81)k]
Since,
F = 0
FAB + FAC + FAD - W = 0
2 2 1
FABi + (-FACj) + (- 3 FADi + 3FADj + + 3FADk) + [-m(9.81)k]
2 2 1
(FAB - 3FAD)i + (-FAC + 3FAD) + (3FAD - 9.81m)k

By i, j and k components:
2
FAB - 3FAD = 0
2
FAC + 3FAD = 0
1
FAD - 9.81m = 0
3

Since the FAD = 0, then the mass of the crate is:

1
(3000) - 9.81m = 0
3
m = 101.94 kg

Problem #4
Joint C:
+Fy = 0
sin30(FCB) - 1.5 = 0
FCB = 3 kN (T)
+Fx = 0
FCD + 3(cos30) = 0
FCD = -2.6 = 2.6 kN (C)
Joint D:
+Fx = 0
FDE 2 = 0
FDE = 2 kN (T)
+Fy = 0
FDB + 2.6 = 0
FDB = -2.6 = 2.6 kN (C)
Joint B:
+Fy = 0
 FBE(cos30) + 2(cos30) = 0
FBE = -2 = 2 kN (C)
+Fx = 0
(2+2)(sin30) + 3 FBA
FDB = 5 kN (T)
Problem #5
+Fx = 0
400 Ax = 0
Ax = 400 N
MC = 0
1200(8) + 400(3) Dy(12) = 0
Dy = 900 N
+Fy = 0
Ay -1200 +900 = 0
Ay = 300 N
At point G:
MG = 0
-300(4) 400(3) FBC(3) = 0
FBC = 800 (T)
At point C:
MC = 0
300(8) +FGE(3) = 0
FGE = -800 N = 800 N (C)
+Fy = 0

300 ( )FGC = 0

FGC 500 N (T)

Problem #6
At member AC:
MA = 0
-Cx(1.5sin60) + Cy(1.5cos60) + 600(0.75) = 0
At member CB:
MB = 0
-500(1) + Cx(1) + Cy(1) = 0
 Therefore:
Cx = 402.63 N
Cy = 97.37 N
At member AC:
+Fx = 0
-Ax + 600(sin60) 402.63 = 0
Ax = 117 N
+Fy = 0
Ay 600(cos60) 97.37 = 0
Ay = 397.37 N
At member CB:
+Fx = 0
402.63 500 + Bx = 0
Bx = 97.37 N
+Fy = 0
-By +97.37 = 0
By = 97.37 N

Problem #7
Fy = 2T - 700 = 0
T = 350 lb
Member ABC:
MA = 0
By(4) - 700(8) - 100(4) - (350sin60)(4) = 0
By = 1803.11 lb
Fy = 0
-Ay - 350sin60 -100 -700 + 1803.11 = 0
Ay = 700 lb
Fx = 0
Ax - 350cos60 - Bx + 350 - 350 = 0
Ax - Bx = 175 lb
Member DB:
MD = 0
-40(2) - 1803.11(4) + Bx = 0
Bx = 1823.11 lb
 Fx = 0
-Dx + 1823.11 = 0
Dx + 1823.11 lb
FY = 0
Dy - 40 1803.11 = 0
Dy = 1843.11 lb
Since, Ax - Bx = 175
Ax = 175 + 1823.11
Ax = 1998.11 lb
