Chapter 4, Solution 7

This document contains the solutions to two problems from Chapter 4 of a mechanics textbook. For each problem: 1) A free-body diagram is drawn showing the forces acting on the system. 2) Summation equations are written for the horizontal and vertical forces and for moments. 3) The equations are solved to find the magnitudes of the reaction forces A and B.

Free-Body Diagram:

(a) a = 2.9 m

Fx = 0:

M B = 0:

Ax = 0

(12 m ) Ay + (12 2.9 ) m ( 3.9 kN ) + (12 2.9 2.6 ) m ( 6.3 kN )


+ ( 2.8 + 1.45 ) m ( 7.9 kN ) + (1.45 m )( 7.3 kN ) = 0

or

Fy = 0:
or

Ay = 10.0500 kN

or A = 10.05 kN

or B = 15.35 kN

10.0500 kN 3.9 kN 6.3 kN 7.9 kN 7.3 kN + By = 0


By = 15.3500 kN

(b) a = 8.1 m

M B = 0:

(12 m ) Ay + (12 8.1) m ( 3.9 kN ) + (12 8.1 2.6 ) m ( 6.3 kN )


+ ( 2.8 + 4.05 ) m ( 7.9 kN ) + ( 4.05 m )( 7.3 kN ) = 0

or
