• As a machinist presses the handles of the compound-action bolt cutters, link AB


carries a 7.5 kN force. If the link has a 14 mm × 4 mm rectangular cross section,
calculate the tensile stress within it.

• (a) By using either the vector algebra or polygon methods for finding a resultant,
determine the magnitude of 퐹 that will cause the net effect of the three forces to
act vertically.
• (b) For that value of , determine the stress in the bolt’s 3/8 In diameter straight
shank.

• In a machine shop, the band saw blade is cutting


through a work piece that is fed between the two guide
blocks B. To what tension P should the blade be set if
its stress is to be 5 ksi during use? Neglect the small
size of the teeth relative to the blade’s width

• The tires of the 4555 lb sedan are 6.5 in. wide. Each tire contacts the ground over a
distance of 4.25 in. as measured along the vehicle’s length. Calculate the
compressive stress between each tire and the road. The locations of the vehicle’s
mass center and the wheelbase dimensions are shown.
