Problem 3: A loaded space frame is shown in the figure, where all the connections A, B, C, D and E are ball and socket joints. The force 1kN is applied parallel y axis and the force 4 kN is applied parallel to x axis a) Draw the FBDs of all the members clearly marking the unknowns. b) Use only 3 equilibrium conditions to find x component of reactions at C, B and A. c) Obtain the y and z component of reactions at B d) Obtain the y and z component of reactions at C e) Obtain the y and z component of reactions at A
Problem 2: A camera weighing 0.53 lb is mounted on a small tripod weighing 0.44 lb on a smooth surface. Assuming that the weight of the camera is uniformly distributed and that the line of action of the weight of the tripod passes through D, determine (a) the vertical components of the reactions at A, B, and C when ! = 0, (b) the maximum value of ! if the tripod is not to tip over. [(a) Na= 0.656N, min = 62deg.] Solution:
Free-Body Diagram:
The free-body diagram indicates the forces on the camera and tripod slid along their lines of action to the plane ABCD. Note that the x-coordinate of the center of mass of the camera is:
xCAM = ! ( 2.4 in. ! 1 in.) = !1.4 in.
Ay = 0.65625 lb
or A y = 0.656 lb
Sum of moment of the forces about the axis passing through B and parallel to x axis is zero :
(3 in.)C y ! (1.5 in.)(0.44 lb) ! (1.5 in)(0.53 lb) + (1.5 in.)(0.65625 lb) = 0
C y = 0.156875 lb
or C y = 0.1569 lb
or B y = 0.1569 lb
(b) Free-Body Diagram: Condition for no tipping: By > 0 Sum of moment of the forces about x axis :
C y = By + ( 0.53 lb )
Sum of moment of the forces about the axis passing through A and parallel to z axis is zero :
(B y + C y )(3.2 in.) ! (0.44 lb)(1.8 in.)! (0.53 lb)[1.8 in. ! (1.4 in)cos " ] = 0
or
"$ 1.4 % # 2By (3.2 in.) + ( 0.53 lb ) )' ( (3.2 in.) sin ! + (1.4 in.) cos! * & ( 0.44 lb + 0.53 lb )(1.8 in.) = 0 -+ 1.5 , .
Solving for By :
By = " $' 1.4 ( %# 1 & & *( 0.44 lb + 0.53 lb )1.8 in. ) 0.53 lb ., - (3.2 in.) sin ! + (1.4 in.) cos! / + 2 (3.2 in.) 4 1.5 1 & & 20 35
and By > 0
To solve for ! :
2.1333sin ! + cos! = A cos (! + " ) = A ( cos! cos " # sin ! sin " )
where
A=
( 2.1333)2 + (1)2
= 2.3561, and
! = tan "1 %
# " 2.1333 $ & , which (noting that cos! > 0) gives 1 ' (
! = 64.885o The inequality for By becomes: 2.3531>2.3561cos(! 64.885o) or cos(! 64.885o) < 0.99873 or ! 64.885o< cos-1(0.99873) or !< 64.885o 2.8879o
