a movable bracket is held at rest by a cable attached at e and by frictionless rollers. knowing that the width of post fg is slightly less than the distance between the rollers, determine the force exerted on the post by each roller when α



Answer :

The force exerted on the post by the roller,

  • A = D = 0
  • B = 868 N ; C = 126.1 N

The equilibrium for bracket,

∑ [tex]F_{y}[/tex] = 0

T sin 20° - 270 = 0

T = 789.43 N

[tex]T_{x}[/tex] = ( 789.43 ) cos 20°

[tex]T_{x}[/tex] = 741.82 N

[tex]T_{y}[/tex] = ( 789.43 ) sin 20°

[tex]T_{y}[/tex] = 270 N

The 270 N force and [tex]T_{y}[/tex] forms a couple

τ = ( 270 ) 0.25

τ =  67.5 N m Clockwise

∑ [tex]M_{B}[/tex] = 0

( 741.82 * 0.125 ) - 67.5 + [tex]F_{CD}[/tex] ( 0.2 ) = 0

[tex]F_{CD}[/tex] = - 126.138 N

∑ [tex]F_{y}[/tex] = 0

[tex]F_{AB}[/tex] - 126.138 - 741.82 = 0

[tex]F_{AB}[/tex] = 867.96 N

The direction of force [tex]F_{CD}[/tex] is towards left and the direction of force [tex]F_{AB}[/tex] is towards right. The force [tex]F_{CD}[/tex] is exerted by roller B and the force [tex]F_{AB}[/tex] is exerted by roller C. Rollers A and D exert no force. The force exerted by the rollers exert oppositely on the post. So the force exerted by roller C is 126.1 N and the force exerted by roller B is 867.96 N.

Therefore, the force exerted on the post by the roller,

  • A = 0
  • B = 867.96 N
  • C = 126.1 N
  • D = 0
