Q1. The uniform sign has a weight of 1500-lbf and is supported by the pipe AB, which
has an inner radius of 2.75-in and an outer radius of 3.00-in. If the face of the
sign is subjected to a uniform wind pressure of p=150-lbf/ft 2, determine the
internal loads at section CDEF.

Q3. The solid shaft AE rotates at 600rpm and transmits 60hp from the motor M to
machine tools connected to gears G and H. Knowing that all=8ksi and that 40hp
is taken off at gear G and 20hp is taken off at gear H, determine the reaction
forces at supports A and E.

Q4. An elliptical exerciser machine (Figure a) is composed of front and back rails. A
simplified plane-frame model of the back rail is shown in figure art b. Analyze the
plane-fame model to find reaction forces at supports A, B, and C for the position
and applied loads given in figure part b. note that there are axial and moment
releases at the base of member 2 so that member 2 can lengthen and shorten as
the roller support at B moves along the 30 o incline. (These releases indicate that
the internal axial force N and moment M must be zero at this location).

Q5. The top portion of a pole saw used to trim small branches from trees is shown in
the figure part (a).The cutting blade BCD [see figure parts (a) and (b)] applies a force P
at point D. Ignore the effect of the weak return spring attached to the cutting blade
below B. Use properties and dimensions given in the figure.

(a) Find the force P on the cutting blade at D if the tension force in the rope is
T=25 lb
(b) Find force in the pin at C.

Q6. The plane frame will be part of a new machine in a manufacturing facility. A cable
attached at C runs over a pulley at F and carries a 500-lb downward load. Two alternate
designs also are being considered. In design 2, support A is now a pin, and segment
BCDE is pin-connected at B. In design 3, support A is a roller, BCDE is pin-connected
at B, and brace HJK is pin-connected at H and K. for each design, find the reaction
forces at A and E and all force components at pin attachment between members.
Neglect the weights of all members.
