Question

See picture top one

The thin plate ABCD is held by the cable BH and by the links AE and DF. The mass oi the plate is 18[kg]. The length of each link is 150[mm] and the plate width is 600mm] and height of 300[mm]. Neglecting the mass of the links, determine, immediately after cable BH has been cut: The forced in links. Determine the acceleration of the plate. slender bar AB is 5[ft] long and is pivoted about point 0 l[ft] from the end B. e other end is pressed against a spring of constant k=1800[lb/in] until the spring is

Explanation / Answer

f1 = FORCE IN LINK EA

F2 = force in link FD

T1 = tensio in BH


balancing horizental component of force ::   F1*cos30 + F2*cos30 =T1*cos45

                                                                       F1 + F2     = T1*2^0.5/3^0.5 = 0.81*T ..........(1)


Balancing Vertical component :::    F1*sin30 + F2*sin30 +T1*sin45 =18g

                                                          F1 + F2 + T1*0.414 = 18g ..........(2)

             form (1) and (2)    T1 = 143.4


                 

balancing the torque about point A :: F2*cos30 *0.3 + 18*g*0.3 = T1*sin45 *0.6

                                                            F2   = 30 .5 N

form (1) F1 = 85.64 N



when string breaks T1 =0


a) force in links are   F1 = 85.64 N

                                 F2   = 30.5 N

b)

ax = horizental acceleration =[ F1*cos30 + F2*cos30]/18 = 5.58 m/s^2

ay = vertical acceleration =   [18g-F1*sin30 + F2*sin30]/18 = 6.57 m/s^2


a = resultat acceleration = [ax^2 +ay^2]^0.5 = 8.6 m/s^2
