    This tutorial document contains 4 mechanics problems involving jib cranes, tow trucks, and journal bearings. Problem 1 asks to determine the maximum distance and reactions for a 2 tonne load on a jib crane supported by a pin and rod. Problem 2 finds the horizontal and vertical reactions at points on the jib crane rod. Problem 3 calculates forces for a 6kN winch cable at 600 to vertical on a 4 tonne tow truck. Problem 4 determines the reaction components at smooth journal bearings.

    ENGINEERING MECHANICS (CUPE124) TUTORIAL 3

    1. The jib crane is supported by a pin at C and rod AB. The rod can withstand a maximum
    tension of 40kN. If the load has a mass of 2 tonnes, with its mass centre at G, determine
    its maximum allowable distance x and the corresponding horizontal and vertical
    components of reaction at C. [5.22m, 32kN, 4.38kN]
    2. Determine the horizontal and vertical components of reaction at the pin A and the
    reaction of the smooth collar B on the rod. [750lb, 825lb, 825lb]

    3. The winch cable on the tow truck is subjected to to a tension of 6kN when the cable is
    directed at 600 to the vertical. The truck has a mass of 4 tonnes and mass centre at G.
    Determine the magnitudes of the total frictional force F for the rear set of wheels B and
    the total normal forces at both front wheels A and both rear wheeels B for equilibrium.
    [F = 5.2kN, NA = 17.3kN, NB = 24.9kN ]

    4. Determine the components of reaction acting at the smooth journal bearings A, B, and C.
    [ = −239 ;  = 91 ;  = 239 ;  = −273 ;  = −318 ;  = 500 ]
