QUESTION 5 (APPLIED MECHANICS)
5.1 PART / FORCE SIZE
AE = 78 N (1)
BF = 39 N (1)
CG = 70 N (1)
DG = 34 N (1)
DE = 68 N (1)
EF = 39 N (1)
FG = 20 N (1)
(7)
5.2 Reaction forces:
around A around B
LOM = ROM ROM = LOM
(B x 8m) = (100N x 2m) + (80N x 6m) (A x 8m) = (80N x 2m) + (100N x 6m)
B8N = 200N + 480N A8 N = 160 N + 600 N
B = 680 N A = 760 N
8m 8m
B = 85 N A = 95 N (8)
5.3 Shear forces:
a = - 50 N + 95 N = +45 N
b = +45 N – 80 N = -35 N
c = -35 N -25 N = -55 N
d = -55 N +55 N = 0 N (4)
