    This document provides the solution to a free-body diagram problem involving a hand truck. It includes: 1) The free-body diagram of the hand truck with forces and angles labeled. 2) Two equations summing the moments and forces on the hand truck. 3) The calculations to solve for the applied force P and braking force B when the angle is 35 degrees, finding P = 14.9896 lb and B = 72.505 lb.

    Chapter 4, Solution 5.
    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 Fy = 0: P 2w + 2B = 0
    For

    (1) (2)

    = 35

    a1 = 20sin 35 8cos 35 = 4.9183 in. a2 = 32 cos 35 20sin 35 = 14.7413 in.

    b = 64cos 35 = 52.426 in.


    (a) From Equation (1)

    P ( 52.426 in.) 80 lb (14.7413 in.) + 80 lb ( 4.9183 in.) = 0


    P = 14.9896 lb
    (b) From Equation (2) or P = 14.99 lb

    14.9896 lb 2 ( 80 lb ) + 2 B = 0
    B = 72.505 lb
    or

    B = 72.5 lb
