PROBLEM 3.51
A farmer uses cables and winch pullers B and E to plumb
one side of a small barn. If it is known that the sum of the
moments about the x-axis of the forces exerted by the
cables on the barn at Points A and D is equal to 4728 lb ⋅ ft,
determine the magnitude of TDE when TAB = 255 lb.
SOLUTION
The moment about the x-axis due to the two cable forces can be found using the z components of each
force acting at their intersection with the xy plane (A and D). The x components of the forces are parallel to
the x-axis, and the y components of the forces intersect the x-axis. Therefore, neither the x or y components
produce a moment about the x-axis.

PROBLEM 3.124
In order to unscrew the tapped faucet A, a plumber uses two
pipe wrenches as shown. By exerting a 40-lb force on each
wrench, at a distance of 10 in. from the axis of the pipe and in a
direction perpendicular to the pipe and to the wrench, he
prevents the pipe from rotating, and thus avoids loosening or
further tightening the joint between the pipe and the tapped
elbow C. Determine (a) the angle θ that the wrench at A should
form with the vertical if elbow C is not to rotate about the
vertical, (b) the force-couple system at C equivalent to the two
40-lb forces when this condition is satisfied.

PROBLEM 3.131*
A group of students loads a 2 3.3-m× flatbed trailer with two
0.66 0.66 0.66-m× × boxes and one0.66 0.66 1.2-m× × box. Each
of the boxes at the rear of the trailer is positioned so that it is
aligned with both the back and a side of the trailer. Determine the
smallest load the students should place in a second0.66 0.66× ×
1.2-m box and where on the trailer they should secure it, without
any part of the box overhanging the sides of the trailer, if each
box is uniformly loaded and the line of action of the resultant of
the weights of the four boxes is to pass through the point of
intersection of the centerlines of the trailer and the axle.
(Hint: Keep in mind that the box may be placed either on its
side or on its end.)
SOLUTION
For the smallest weight on the trailer so that the resultant force of the four weights acts over the axle at the
intersection with the center line of the trailer, the added 0.66 0.66 1.2-m× × box should be placed adjacent to
one of the edges of the trailer with the 0.66 0.66-m× side on the bottom. The edges to be considered are based
on the location of the resultant for the three given weights.

From the statement of the problem, it is known that the resultant of R from the original loading and the
lightest load W passes through G, the point of intersection of the two center lines. Thus, 0.GΣ =M
Further, since the lightest load W is to be as small as possible, the fourth box should be placed as far from G
as possible without the box overhanging the trailer. These two requirements imply

PROBLEM 3.142*
Determine whether the force-and-couple system shown can be
reduced to a single equivalent force R. If it can, determine R
and the point where the line of action of R intersects the
yz-plane. If it cannot be so reduced, replace the given system
with an equivalent wrench and determine its resultant, its
pitch, and the point where its axis intersects the yz-plane.
SOLUTION
First, reduce the given force system to a force-couple at the origin.

PROBLEM 3.144*
Show that, in general, a wrench can be replaced with two forces chosen in such a way that one force passes
through a given point while the other force lies in a given plane.
SOLUTION
First, choose a coordinate system so that the xy-plane coincides with the given plane. Also, position the
coordinate system so that the line of action of the wrench passes through the origin as shown in Figure a.
Since the orientation of the plane and the components (R, M) of the wrench are known, it follows that the
scalar components of R and M are known relative to the shown coordinate system.
A force system to be shown as equivalent is illustrated in Figure b. Let A be the force passing through the
given Point P and B be the force that lies in the given plane. Let b be the x-axis intercept of B.
The known components of the wrench can be expressed as
andx y z x y zR R R M M M M= + + = + +R i j k i j k
while the unknown forces A and B can be expressed as
andx y z x zA A A B B= + + = +A i j k B i k
Since the position vector of Point P is given, it follows that the scalar components (x, y, z) of the
position vector rP are also known.
Then, for equivalence of the two systems,
:x x x xF R A BΣ = + (1)
:y y yF R AΣ = (2)
:z z z zF R A BΣ = + (3)
:x x z yM M yA zAΣ = − (4)
:y y x z zM M zA xA bBΣ = − − (5)
:z z y xM M xA yAΣ = − (6)
Based on the above six independent equations for the six unknowns ( , , , , , ),x y z x zA A A B B b there
exists a unique solution for A and B.
From Equation (2), y yA R= 

PROBLEM 3.145*
Show that a wrench can be replaced with two perpendicular forces, one of which is applied at a given point.
SOLUTION
First, observe that it is always possible to construct a line perpendicular to a given line so that the constructed
line also passes through a given point. Thus, it is possible to align one of the coordinate axes of a rectangular
coordinate system with the axis of the wrench while one of the other axes passes through the given point.
See Figures a and b.
We have andR M= =R j M j and are known.
The unknown forces A and B can be expressed as
andx y z x y zA A A B B B= + + = + +A i j k B i j k
The distance a is known. It is assumed that force B intersects the xz-plane at (x, 0, z). Then for equivalence,
:xFΣ 0 x xA B= + (1)
:yFΣ y yR A B= + (2)
:zFΣ 0 z zA B= + (3)
:xMΣ 0 yzB= − (4)
:y z z xM M aA xB zBΣ = − − + (5)
:zMΣ 0 y yaA xB= + (6)
Since A and B are made perpendicular,
0 or 0x x y y z zA B A B A B⋅ = + + =A B (7)
There are eight unknowns: , , , , , , ,x y z x y zA A A B B B x z
But only seven independent equations. Therefore, there exists an infinite number of solutions.
Next, consider Equation (4): 0 yzB= −
If 0,yB = Equation (7) becomes 0x x z zA B A B+ =
Using Equations (1) and (3), this equation becomes 2 2
0x zA A+ =

PROBLEM 3.145* (Continued)
Since the components of A must be real, a nontrivial solution is not possible. Thus, it is required that 0,yB ≠
so that from Equation (4), 0.z =
To obtain one possible solution, arbitrarily let 0.xA =
(Note: Setting , , ory z zA A B equal to zero results in unacceptable solutions.)
The defining equations then become

0 z zA B= + (3)
z zM aA xB= − − (5)′
0 y yaA xB= + (6)

PROBLEM 3.146*
Show that a wrench can be replaced with two forces, one of which has a prescribed line of action.
SOLUTION
First, choose a rectangular coordinate system where one axis coincides with the axis of the wrench and
another axis intersects the prescribed line of action (AA′). Note that it has been assumed that the line of action
of force B intersects the xz-plane at Point P(x, 0, z). Denoting the known direction of line AA′ by
A x y zλ λ λ λ= + +i j k
it follows that force A can be expressed as
( )A x y zA Aλ λ λ λ= = + +A i j k
Force B can be expressed as
x y zB B B= + +B i j k
Next, observe that since the axis of the wrench and the prescribed line of action AA′ are known, it follows that
the distance a can be determined. In the following solution, it is assumed that a is known.
Then for equivalence,
: 0x x xF A BλΣ = + (1)
:y y yF R A BλΣ = + (2)
: 0z z zF A BλΣ = + (3)
: 0x yM zBΣ = − (4)
:y z x zM M aA zB xBλΣ = − + − (5)
: 0x y yM aA xBλΣ = − + (6)
Since there are six unknowns (A, Bx, By, Bz, x, z) and six independent equations, it will be possible to
obtain a solution.

PROBLEM 3.154
While tapping a hole, a machinist applies the horizontal forces
shown to the handle of the tap wrench. Show that these forces
are equivalent to a single force, and specify, if possible, the
point of application of the single force on the handle.
SOLUTION
Since the forces at A and B are parallel, the force at B can be replaced with the sum of two forces with one of
the forces equal in magnitude to the force at A except with an opposite sense, resulting in a force-couple.
We have 2.9 lb 2.65 lb 0.25 lb,BF = − = where the 2.65-lb force is part of the couple. Combining the two
parallel forces,

Since member AB is acted upon by two forces, A and B, they must be colinear, have the same magnitude, and
be opposite in direction for AB to be in equilibrium. The force B acting at B of member BCD will be equal in
magnitude but opposite in direction to force B acting on member AB. Member BCD is a three-force body with
member forces intersecting at E. The F.B.D.’s of members AB and BCD illustrate the above conditions. The

PROBLEM 4.84
A uniform rod AB of length 2R rests inside a hemispherical bowl of radius
R as shown. Neglecting friction, determine the angle θ corresponding to
equilibrium.
SOLUTION
Based on the F.B.D., the uniform rod AB is a three-force body. Point E is the point of intersection of the three
forces. Since force A passes through O, the center of the circle, and since force C is perpendicular to the rod,
triangle ACE is a right triangle inscribed in the circle. Thus, E is a point on the circle.
Note that the angle α of triangle DOA is the central angle corresponding to the inscribed angleθ of
triangle DCA.

In order to clean the clogged drainpipe AE, a plumber has
disconnected both ends of the pipe and inserted a power
snake through the opening at A. The cutting head of the
snake is connected by a heavy cable to an electric motor that
rotates at a constant speed as the plumber forces the cable
into the pipe. The forces exerted by the plumber and
the motor on the end of the cable can be represented by
the wrench (48 N) , (90 N m) .= − = − ⋅F k M k Determine the
additional reactions at B, C, and D caused by the cleaning

PROBLEM 5.22
A composite beam is constructed by bolting four
plates to four 60 × 60 × 12-mm angles as shown.
The bolts are equally spaced along the beam, and
the beam supports a vertical load. As proved
in mechanics of materials, the shearing forces
exerted on the bolts at A and B are proportional to
the first moments with respect to the centroidal
x-axis of the red-shaded areas shown, respectively,
in parts a and b of the figure. Knowing that the
force exerted on the bolt at A is 280 N, determine
the force exerted on the bolt at B.

PROBLEM 5.88
A prismatically shaped gate placed at the end of a freshwater channel is
supported by a pin and bracket at A and rests on a frictionless support at B.
The pin is located at a distance 0.10 mh = below the center of gravity C
of the gate. Determine the depth of water d for which the gate will open.
SOLUTION
First note that when the gate is about to open (clockwise rotation is impending), yB 0 and the line of
action of the resultant P of the pressure forces passes through the pin at A. In addition, if it is assumed that the
gate is homogeneous, then its center of gravity C coincides with the centroid of the triangular area. Then

PROBLEM 5.89
A prismatically shaped gate placed at the end of a freshwater channel
is supported by a pin and bracket at A and rests on a frictionless support
at B. Determine the distance h if the gate is to open when 0.75 m.d =
SOLUTION
First note that when the gate is about to open (clockwise rotation is impending), yB 0 and the line of
action of the resultant P of the pressure forces passes through the pin at A. In addition, if it is assumed that the
gate is homogeneous, then its center of gravity C coincides with the centroid of the triangular area. Then

PROBLEM 5.135
After grading a lot, a builder places four stakes to designate the
corners of the slab for a house. To provide a firm, level base
for the slab, the builder places a minimum of 3 in. of gravel
beneath the slab. Determine the volume of gravel needed and
the x coordinate of the centroid of the volume of the gravel.
(Hint: The bottom surface of the gravel is an oblique plane,
which can be represented by the equation y = a + bx + cz.)
SOLUTION
The centroid can be found by integration. The equation for the bottom of the gravel is ,y a bx cz= + + where
the constants a, b, and c can be determined as follows:
For 0x = and 0,z = 3 in., and therefore,y = −

For 0 and 50 ft, 6 in.,x z y= = = − and therefore,

The truss shown consists of 18 members and is supported by a
ball and socket at A, two short links at B, and one short link at G.
(a) Check that this truss is a simple truss, that it is completely
constrained, and that the reactions at its supports are statically
determinate. (b) For the given loading, determine the force in
each of the six members joined at E.
SOLUTION
(a) Check simple truss.
(1) Start with tetrahedron BEFG.
(2) Add members BD, ED, GD joining at D.
(3) Add members BA, DA, EA joining at A.
(4) Add members DH, EH, GH joining at H.
(5) Add members BC, DC, GC joining at C.
Truss has been completed: It is a simple truss.
Free body: Truss:
Check constraints and reactions.
Six unknown reactions—ok; however, supports at A and
B constrain truss to rotate about AB and support at G
prevents such a rotation. Thus,
Truss is completely constrained and reactions are statically determinate.

PROBLEM 6.96
In order to obtain a better weight distribution over the
four wheels of the pickup truck of Problem 6.95, a
compensating hitch of the type shown is used to attach
the trailer to the truck. The hitch consists of two bar
springs (only one is shown in the figure) that fit into
bearings inside a support rigidly attached to the truck.
The springs are also connected by chains to the trailer
frame, and specially designed hooks make it possible to
place both chains in tension. (a) Determine the tension T
required in each of the two chains if the additional load
due to the trailer is to be evenly distributed over the four
wheels of the truck. (b) What are the resulting reactions at
each of the six wheels of the trailer-truck combination?

Each of the boxes at the rear of the trailer is positioned so that it is aligned with both the back and a side of the trailer. Determine the smallest load the students should place in a second0.66 0.66× × 1.2-m box and where on the trailer they should secure it, without any part of the box overhanging the sides of the trailer, if each box is uniformly loaded and the line of action of the resultant of the weights of the four boxes is to pass through the point of intersection of the centerlines of the trailer and the axle. (Hint: Keep in mind that the box may be placed either on its side or on its end.)

PROBLEM 3.131* A group of students loads a 2 3.3-m× flatbed trailer with two 0.66 0.66 0.66-m× × boxes and one 0.66 0.66 1.2-m× × box. Each of the boxes at the rear of the trailer is positioned so that it is aligned with both the back and a side of the trailer. Determine the smallest load the students should place in a second 0.66 0.66 1.2-m× × box and where on the trailer they should secure it, without any part of the box overhanging the sides of the trailer, if each box is uniformly loaded and the line of action of the resultant of the weights of the four boxes is to pass through the point of intersection of the centerlines of the trailer and the axle. (Hint: Keep in mind that the box may be placed either on its side or on its end.) SOLUTION First replace the three known loads with a single equivalent force R applied at coordinate ( , 0, ).R Rx z Equivalence requires : 224 392 176yF RΣ − − − = − or 792 N=R : (0.33 m)(224 N) (0.6 m)(392 N) (2 m)(176 N) (792 N) x R M z Σ + + = or 0.83475 mRz = : (0.33 m)(224 N) (1.67 m)(392 N) (1.67 m)(176 N) (792 N) z R M x Σ − − − = or 1.29101 mRx = From the statement of the problem, it is known that the resultant of R and the heaviest loads WH passes through G, the point of intersection of the two center lines. Thus, 0GΣ =M Further, since WH is to be as large as possible, the fourth box should be placed as close to G as possible while keeping one of the sides of the box coincident with a side of the trailer.

SOLUTION First, choose a coordinate system so that the xy-plane coincides with the given plane. Also, position the coordinate system so that the line of action of the wrench passes through the origin as shown in Figure a. Since the orientation of the plane and the components (R, M) of the wrench are known, it follows that the scalar components of R and M are known relative to the shown coordinate system. A force system to be shown as equivalent is illustrated in Figure b. Let A be the force passing through the given Point P and B be the force that lies in the given plane. Let b be the x-axis intercept of B. The known components of the wrench can be expressed as andx y z x y zR R R M M M M= + + = + +R i j k i j k while the unknown forces A and B can be expressed as andx y z x zA A A B B= + + = +A i j k B i k Since the position vector of Point P is given, it follows that the scalar components (x, y, z) of the position vector rP are also known. Then, for equivalence of the two systems, :x x x xF R A BΣ = + (1) :y y yF R AΣ = (2) :z z z zF R A BΣ = + (3) :x x z yM M yA zAΣ = − (4) :y y x z zM M zA xA bBΣ = − − (5) :z z y xM M xA yAΣ = − (6) Based on the above six independent equations for the six unknowns ( , , , , , ),x y z x zA A A B B b there exists a unique solution for A and B.

SOLUTION First, observe that it is always possible to construct a line perpendicular to a given line so that the constructed line also passes through a given point. Thus, it is possible to align one of the coordinate axes of a rectangular coordinate system with the axis of the wrench while one of the other axes passes through the given point. See Figures a and b. We have andR M= =R j M j and are known. The unknown forces A and B can be expressed as andx y z x y zA A A B B B= + + = + +A i j k B i j k The distance a is known. It is assumed that force B intersects the xz-plane at (x, 0, z). Then for equivalence, :xFΣ 0 x xA B= + (1) :yFΣ y yR A B= + (2) :zFΣ 0 z zA B= + (3) :xMΣ 0 yzB= − (4) :y z z xM M aA xB zBΣ = − − + (5) :zMΣ 0 y yaA xB= + (6) Since A and B are made perpendicular, 0 or 0x x y y z zA B A B A B⋅ = + + =A B (7) There are eight unknowns: , , , , , , ,x y z x y zA A A B B B x z But only seven independent equations. Therefore, there exists an infinite number of solutions. Next, consider Equation (4): 0 yzB= − If 0,yB = Equation (7) becomes 0x x z zA B A B+ = Using Equations (1) and (3), this equation becomes 2 2 0x zA A+ = www.elsolucionario.net www.elsolucionario.net

SOLUTION First, choose a rectangular coordinate system where one axis coincides with the axis of the wrench and another axis intersects the prescribed line of action (AA′). Note that it has been assumed that the line of action of force B intersects the xz-plane at Point P(x, 0, z). Denoting the known direction of line AA′ by A x y zλ λ λ λ= + +i j k it follows that force A can be expressed as ( )A x y zA Aλ λ λ λ= = + +A i j k Force B can be expressed as x y zB B B= + +B i j k Next, observe that since the axis of the wrench and the prescribed line of action AA′ are known, it follows that the distance a can be determined. In the following solution, it is assumed that a is known. Then for equivalence, : 0x x xF A BλΣ = + (1) :y y yF R A BλΣ = + (2) : 0z z zF A BλΣ = + (3) : 0x yM zBΣ = − (4) :y z x zM M aA zB xBλΣ = − + − (5) : 0x y yM aA xBλΣ = − + (6) Since there are six unknowns (A, Bx, By, Bz, x, z) and six independent equations, it will be possible to obtain a solution. www.elsolucionario.net www.elsolucionario.net
