Structural Analysis Tutorial: Forces & Reactions

The document contains a tutorial with four questions related to mechanics and forces. It includes problems involving a swinging bracket with a load, a pivoted rod against a rotating wheel, forces in a truss, and a mast supported by cables. Each question requires calculations and analysis of forces and tensions in various mechanical systems.

TUTORIAL -1

Q.1. (1.14) The bracket ABC is free to swing out horizontally on the vertical rod. Estimate the
forces transmitted to the vertical rod at A and B when a 900-N load is supported at C. Show
magnitudes and directions on a clear sketch.

Q.2. (1.25) A freely pivoted light rod of length / is pressed against a rotating wheel by a force
P applied to its middle. The friction coefficient between the rod and wheel materials is f.
Compute, for both directions of rotation, the friction force F as a function of the variables I, P,
and f, and any others which are relevant. One of these two situations is sometimes referred to
as a friction lock. Which one, and why?
Q.3. (1.31) Determine the forces in the six members of the truss shown.

Q.4. (1.41) The mast AD is acted on by a 1.6-kN force and supported by cables CE and DF as
shown. Find the reaction force exerted on the mast by the frictionless ball-and-socket joint at
A and also the tensions in the cables CE and DF
