Application
In certain cases, such as the analysis of a
system of connected rigid bodies, the
method of virtual work is a more efficient
method than applying the equilibrium
analysis methods of the previous chapters.

input work
• For an ideal machine without friction, the 2Ql cos
=
output work is equal to the input work. Pl sin
= 1 − cot
• When the effect of friction is considered,
the output work is reduced.
U = −Q xB − P yC − F xB = 0
0 = −2Ql cos + Pl sin − Pl cos
Q = 12 P ( tan − )
Modeling:
Choose a coordinate system with origin at E. Then
xD = 3l cos
xD = −3l sin
xD = 3l cos
xD = −3l sin
0 = M + P ( −3l sin )
M = 3Pl sin
Reflect and Think:
This problem illustrates that the principle of
virtual work can help determine a moment as
well as a force in a straightforward computation.
Strategy:
The tension in the spring is a force F exerted at C.
Applying the principle of virtual work, you can obtain
a relationship between F and the applied force P.
Modeling:
With the coordinate system shown,
yB = l sin yC = 2l sin
yB = l cos yC = 2l cos
The elongation of the spring is s = yC – h = 2l sin θ – h.
The magnitude of the force exerted at C by the spring is
F = ks =k(2l sin θ – h)

Analysis:
• Apply the principle of virtual work

Strategy:
The principle of virtual work allows you to find
a relationship between the force applied by the
cylinder and the weight without involving the
reactions. However, you need a relationship
between the virtual displacement and the
change in angle θ, which is found from the law
