Question

The force P is applied to the jaw of the shear as shown. Your task is to determine the force F that the jaw applies to the pipe and the magnitude of the force at the pivot at A. In the position shown, F is vertical and P is at an angle ? relative to vertical. If ? = 15o, and P = 15 kN, (a) what is the magnitude of force F and (b) what is the magnitude of force O?

HINT: Here is a sample answer to help in your solution: If ? = 20o, and P = 10 kN, then F = 12.73 kN and O = 22.39 kN.

5. This problem is adapted from problem 4.23 in the textbook. The force P is applied to the jaw of the shear as shown. Your task is to determine the force F that the jaw applies to the pipe and the magnitude of the force at the pivot at A. In the position shown, F is vertical and P is at an angle relative to vertical. If = 15°, and P = 15 kN, (a) what is the magnitude of force F and (b) what is the magnitude of force O? HINT: Here is a sample answer to help in your solution: If = 20°, and P-10 kN, then F = 12.73 kN and O = 22.39 kN. 1.1 m
