Spring 2011
Note: Neglect the weight of the members

1) Draw the free body diagram of the shaft assembly which is


Supported by two smooth journal bearings A and B and a short
Link DC.

2) Draw the free body diagram of the uniform


10-Kg rod AB which is supported by a ball-
and-socket joint at A and by cord CG that is
attached to the midpoint G of the rod. The rod
leans against a frictionless vertical wall at B.

3) Draw the free body diagram of the


rigid L-shaped member ABC that is
supported by a ball-and-socket joint
at A and by three cables.
4) Draw the free body diagram of the two
rectangular plates which are welded
together to form the assembly shown. The
assembly is supported by ball-and-socket
joints at B and D and by a ball on a
horizontal surface at C.

5) Draw the free body diagram of the rectangular plate


which has a mass of 15 kg and is held in the position
shown by hinges A and B and cable EF. Assuming
that the hinge at B does not exert any axial thrust.
