    This document summarizes the solution to a problem involving the free-body diagram and static equilibrium equations of a hand truck. It lists the free-body diagram forces and moment arms, and uses the equations of equilibrium to solve for the applied push force P and braking force B. It finds that P = 8.05 lb and B = 76.0 lb.

    Chapter 4, Solution 6.

    Free-Body Diagram:

    a1 = ( 20 in.) sin ( 8 in.) cos a2 = ( 32 in.) cos ( 20 in.) sin b = ( 64 in.) cos
    From free-body diagram of hand truck

    M B = 0: P ( b ) W ( a2 ) + W ( a1 ) = 0 (1) Fy = 0: P 2w + 2B = 0
    For (2)

    = 40

    a1 = 20sin 40 8cos 40 = 6.7274 in. a2 = 32 cos 40 20sin 40 = 11.6577 in.

    b = 64cos 40 = 49.027 in.


    (a) From Equation (1)

    P ( 49.027 in.) 80 lb (11.6577 in.) + 80 lb ( 6.7274 in.) = 0 P = 8.0450 lb


    or P = 8.05 lb (b) From Equation (2)

    8.0450 lb 2 (80 lb ) + 2 B = 0 B = 75.9775 lb


    or B = 76.0 lb
