Question

Dear Cramster,

I am in a Food Engineering class and am trying to find websites that will be helpful in this course. Can you recommend website(s) that can help with Food Engineering methods or equations?

Thank you so much,

Laura

Explanation / Answer

Max. Force AB = 450 lbs Max. Force AC = 480 lbs + --> SFx = 0; FAB + FACCos(30) = 0 Fe is not included because it only acts in the y-direction + ^ SFy = 0; -Fe + FACSin(30) = 0 Knowing FAC = 480 lbs -Fe = -480Sin(30) Fe = 240 lbs Now we have to check to ensure that when Fac is at 480 the max in FAB is not above 450. FAB + FACCos(30) = 0 FAB + 480Cos(30) = 0 FAB = -415.7 > 450 the negative indicated that the force acts in the opposite directions then shown in the Free body diagram So the max engine wieght is 240 lbs. Thanks! Please rate and comment if anything is unclear.
