Assignment Q3

A MATLAB program is to be written to solve a static mechanics problem involving a man applying couple forces to a valve wheel. The problem involves determining (a) the couple moment produced by a force of 62.5 N applied to the wheel, and (b) the magnitude of each force required if the valve opens with a couple moment of 25 Nm. Hand calculations of the problem should also be shown and results compared to the MATLAB program and solution. Creativity in the program is welcomed.

Individual Assignment Q3

Write a MATLAB program to solve the following static problem. Perform a hand
calculation of the same problem. Compare your results. Submit the program and its
results together with the results obtained from manual calculation. Creativity is mostly
welcome and deserved better marks.
Problem
A man tries to open a valve by applying the couple forces of F = 62.5 N to the wheel.
a) Determine the couple moment produced.
b) If the valve can be opened with a couple moment of 25 Nm, determine the
required magnitude of each couple force which must be applied to the wheel.
