Consider the sketch of the movable crane. Make a free-body diagram of the mobile crane. The wheels are 4 ft apart and the center of gravity is halfway between the wheels. Assume the ballast is an external force acting one foot behind the left axle and that the weight hanging off the crane at point B is also treated as an external force. Draw the free body diagram, label all the forces and dimensions. Be sure to include a coordinate axis.

What is an example of torsion force? An example of a torsional force would be anytime a force acting on an object results in a twisted or rotating motion. This twisting movement happens when an applied torque or force encounters an opposing force which generates shear strain. This opposing force could be a result of…
Objective The object of the experiment is to determine the material of an unknown specimen based on the material young’s modulus(E). Young’s modulus is the ratio of the stress to strain in the plastic region of the stress-strain diagram. This mechanical property is material specific. The data which was gathered during this experiment is as…
The sky hook is used to support the cable of a scaffold over the side of a building. If it consists of a smooth rod that contacts the parapet of a wall at points A,B, and C, determine the normal force, shear force, and moment on the cross section at points D and E. Support…
The 800-lb load is being hoisted at a constant speed using the motor M, which has a weight of 90 lb. Determine the resultant internal loadings acting on the cross section through point B in the beam. The beam has a weight of 40 lb/ft and is fixed to the wall at A. Sample problems…
The force acts on the gear tooth. Determine the resultant internal loadings on the root of thetooth, i.e., at the centroid point A of section a–a. Sample problems and notes are based on the following text book: Mechanics of Materials 8th Edition ISBN-13: 978-0136022305 ISBN-10: 0136022308 Edition: 7 Author: Russell C.

Physics often focuses on simplifying complex phenomena to better understand and predict the natural world. This art of idealization is a cornerstone of mechanics, where we frequently encounter the concept of a “particle” or “point mass.” Within this context, the moment of inertia plays a crucial role, particularly in rotational dynamics. In thermodynamic equilibrium, all…
