    SI CE 2450 Exam 3 Review

    SI Leader: Lauren Bordelon


    Topics: 6.4-6.6, 7.1, 8, 9.3
    • Trusses
    o Method of sections
    • Frames & Machines
    • Internal Forces

    • Friction
    o Tipping vs. slipping
    ▪ Assume slipping first
    • Assume F = µsN
    • Aka F = FS
    o Wedges
    • F = µsN
    • Start with FBD of the wedge
    • Friction forces are opposite of motion and along the contact
    surface
    • Normal forced are perpendicular to the contact surface
    • Then, FBD of the object(s) around the wedge
    • Forces at contact surfaces are equal and opposite to forces on
    the wedge
    o Belt Friction
    • 𝑇2 = 𝑇1 𝑒 µ 𝛽
    • Use radians! (β)
    𝜋
    • Degrees to radians: 𝐷𝑒𝑔𝑟𝑒𝑒 ∗
    180
    • T2 > T 1
    • Centroid
    o Divide body into pieces
    • Triangle, rectangle, semi-circle, etc.
    • Negative sign used to holes
    1. Calculate area (2D) or volume (3D) for each piece
    a) Sum them
    2. Calculate x bar and y bar
    3. Multiply x bar by area or volume
    a) Sum them
    4. Multiply y bar by area or volume
    a) Sum them
    5. To find x bar of the whole body, divide step 3a (sum of x
    bar multiplied by area or volume) by step 1a (sum of area
    or volume)
    6. To find y bar or whole body, divide step 4a by step 1a
    ▪ These final x and y bars are the coordinates
    for the centroid!
    1. Determine the force in members DC, HC, and HI of the truss and state if
    the members are in tension or compression.
    2. The compound beam is pin connected at B. Determine the components of
    reaction at its supports. Neglect its weight and thickness.
    3. Determine the internal normal force, shear force, and moment acting at
    point D, which is located just to the right of the roller support at B.
    4. The tractor has a weight of 4500 lb with center of gravity at G. The
    driving traction is developed at the rear wheels B, while the front wheels
    at A are free to roll. If the coefficient of static friction between the wheels
    at B and the ground is µs = 0.5, determine if it is possible to pull at
    P = 1200 lb without causing the wheels at B to slip or the front wheels at
    A to lift off the ground.
    5. If the beam AD is loaded as shown, determine the horizontal force P
    which must be applied to the wedge in order to remove it from under the
    beam. The coefficients of static friction at the wedge’s top and bottom
    surfaces are µCA = 0.25 and µCB = 0.35. Neglect the weight and size of the
    wedge and the thickness of the beam.
    6. A cylinder having a mass of 250 kg is to be supported by the cord that
    wraps over the pipe. Determine the smallest vertical force F needed to
    support the load if the cord passes (a) once over the pipe, β = 180, and (b)
    two times over the pipe, β = 540. Take µs = 2.
    7. Determine the location y bar of the centroid of the beam’s cross-sectional
    area. Neglect the size of the corner welds at A and B for the calculation.
