Tutorial  " Virtual Work

This document provides instructions for solving 6 problems related to virtual work and mechanical systems. Problem 1 involves determining the force required to maintain equilibrium of a two-bar linkage supported by a pin and sliding collar. Problem 2 involves finding reactions at a point using the method of virtual work. Problem 3 involves determining the compression in hydraulic cylinders required to support a platform of given mass and angle. Problem 4 involves obtaining the clamping force developed by pliers given a handle force. Problem 5 involves expressing the clamping force of a remote-action actuator in terms of the tension in its control rod. Problem 6 involves finding the force delivered horizontally to crush a rock given piston diameters and two measured pressures.
