REVIEW OF KINEMATICS AND MECHANICS OF MATERIALS
3. The assembly shown in Figure 1.3a, which carries a load of 30 kN, consists of two beams
ABCD and CEF, and one bar BE, connected by pins; it is supported by a pin at A and a cable
DG. The dimensions are in meters. Find (a) The components of the forces acting on each
member and (b) The axial force, shear force, and moment acting on the cross section at point
G. Assumptions: Friction forces in the pin joints will be omitted. All forces are coplanar and
2D.
4. A power of one thousand two hundred kilowatts is to be transmitted at 800 rpm by means of a steel shaft without exceeding a
torsional stress of 90 MPa or twisting through more than 1o in a length of 20 diameters. Determine the following:
a. diameter of solid shaft required
b. If Di = 0.5 Do, what hollow shaft diameters are required?
c. Which is lighter from a) and b), and by what percentage? Consider equal length and same material.
5. A belted transmission system is loaded as shown. The input shaft takes its power from a 50 kW motor that runs at 1200 rpm.
The output shaft drives a certain machinery equipment. Determine the following:
a. torque available at each of shafts A, B, and C.
b. torsional stress induced on the 50mm diameter output shaft
c. length of belt required to connect each pair of pulleys
d. maximum bending moment on shaft B, considering a belt coefficient of friction of 0.25.
