Engineering Truss Analysis

The document contains 10 questions from Chapter 4 on structural analysis. Each question asks the reader to analyze a different truss or structural system by determining the forces in each member and specifying whether each member experiences tension or compression. The questions involve analyzing trusses, kinked rods, cables, and the linkage of a backhoe bucket under various loading conditions.

Question 7

Determine the force in members BC, HC, and HG of the truss and state if the members are in tension or compression.

Question 8

The kink is used to hold the rod in place. Determine the required axial force on the screw at E if the largest force to be exerted on the rod at B, C or D is to be 100 lb. Also find the magnitude of the force reaction at pin A. Assume all surface of contact are smooth.

Question 9

Determine the magnitude of force P needed to support 800 N force. Also, find the distance x where the cable must attached to bar AB so the bar remains horizontal. All pulleys have a radius of 60 mm.

Question 10

The bucket of the backhoe and its contents have a weight of 1200 N and a centre of gravity at G. Determine the forces of the hydraulic cylinder AB and in links AC and AD in order to hold the load in the position shown. The bucket is pinned at E.
