Four
-diameter pegs are attached to a board as shown. Two strings are passed around the pegs and pulled with the forces indicated. (a) Determine the resultant couple acting on the board. (b) If only one string is used, around which pegs should it pass and in what directions should it be pulled to create the same couple with the minimum tension in the string? (c) What is the value of that minimum tension?

Suppose an equivalent system was made such that only force at B and a couple are present. What gives the magnitude of force at B and the couple in the equivalent system? 2. If the force P and couple M is to be replaced with a single force, where is the point of application of this single force along bar ABCD in order to have the same external effect as the original set of force P and couple M?

The flanged steel cantilever beam with riveted bracket is subjected to the couple and two forces shown, and their effect on the design of the attachment at A must be determined. Replace the two forces and couple by an equivalent couple M and resultant R at A. The couple is positive if counterclockwise, negative if clockwise. 1.98 kN 0.48 m 1.60 m 71° 0.18 m 0.18 m 610 N.m L--x 6. 1.40 kN Answers: M= i 2.133 kN-m R = ( 1.9 i+ 1. 25 j) kN eTextbook and Media Save for Laterarrow_forward2.
