Assignment# 1
Review of Statics and Internal Reactions
1) The gear-pulling assembly shown consists of a crosshead CF, two grip arms ABC and FGH, two
links BD and EG, and a threaded center rod JK. Knowing that the center rod JK must exert a
4800-N force on the vertical shaft KL in order to start the removal of the gear, determine all
the forces acting on grip arm ABC. Assume that the rounded ends of the crosshead are
smooth.

2) The compound arrangement of the pan scale is shown. If the mass on the pan is 4 kg,
determine the horizontal and vertical components at pins A, B, and C and the distance x of the
25-g mass to keep the scale in balance.

3) Determine the internal normal force, shear force, and


moment at points D and E in the frame. Point D is
located just above the 400-N force.
