EM 306 - Statics Final Exam Fall 2008 by Landis - Prof. Chad M. Landis, Exams of Statics

The final exam for the statics course, em 306, taught by landis during the fall 2008 semester. The exam covers various topics such as free body diagrams, moments of inertia, reactions at hinges, and internal forces in beams. Students are required to correctly draw and label free body diagrams, show all work, and include units in their answers.

Problem 1. The mass of the block B is 8 kg.

The coefficient of static friction between the

surfaces of the clamp and the block is

μ s = 0.2. When the clamp is aligned as

shown, what minimum force must the spring

exert to prevent the block from slipping out?

(20 points)

Problem 2. If Iyy = 5 m 4 , determine (a) the dimension h , (b) the

location of the centroid, and (c) Ixx. The centroid of a semi-

circle is located 4 R / 3! above its base, and the moments of

inertia about axes passing through its centroid are

Problem 3. (a) Draw a free body diagram of

the door. Do not make any assumptions

about the hinges at A and B except for the

fact that they are free to rotate about their

axis. Be sure to give a detailed explanation

of the reactions at A and B. (b) Use the fact

that the sum of the moments of all forces

and couples on the door about any axis must

be zero to determine the tension in the

string. (25 points)

Problem 4. The frame shown is used to support high-tension wires. If b = 3 ft, α = 30 °, and W = 2 00 lb, what is the axial force in member HJ? All slots are frictionless. (20 points)

Problem 5. Determine the internal shear force and bending moment distributions for the upper

beam. (20 points)
