Hibbeler Statics 14E P2.2 — Resultant of a System of Two Forces

Determine the magnitude of the resultant force \textbf{F}_{\text{R}} = \textbf{F}_1 + \textbf{F}_2 and its direction, measured counterclockwise from the positive x axis.

SOLUTION:

The parallelogram law of the force system is shown.

Consider the triangle AOB.

Using cosine law to solve for the resultant force \textbf{F}_{\text{R}}

\begin{align*}
\textbf{F}_\text{R} & =\sqrt{\left(250\right)^2+\left(375\right)^2-2\left(250\right)\left(375\right) \cos\:75^{\circ} }\\
& =393.2 \ \text{lb}\\
& =393\:\text{lb}\\
\end{align*}

The value of angle θ can be solved using sine law. 

\begin{align*}
\frac{393.2}{\sin\:\left(75^{\circ} \right)} & = \frac{250}{\sin\:\theta } \\
\sin \theta & = \frac{250 \ \sin75 \degree}{393.2}\\
\theta & =\sin^{-1} \left(\frac{250 \ \sin75 \degree}{393.2}\right)\\
\theta & = 37.89^{\circ}\\
\end{align*}

Solve for the unknown angle \phi .

\phi =360^{\circ} -45^{\circ} +37.89^{\circ} =353^{\circ}

The resultant force has a magnitude of 393 lb and is located 353º measured counterclockwise from the positive x-axis.

Computing the mass and weight of a man on earth and on the moon

If a man weighs 155 lb on earth, specify (a) his mass in slugs, (b) his mass in kilograms, and (c) his weight in newtons. If the man is on the moon, where the acceleration due to gravity is gm=5.30 ft/s², determine (d) his weight in pounds, and (e) his mass in kilograms.

Engineering Mechanics: Statics 13th Edition by RC Hibbeler, Problem 1-21
Engineering Mechanics: Statics 14th Edition by RC Hibbeler, Problem 1-20

Solution:

Part A

From the formula, \text{W}=\text{mg}, we can solve for the mass by dividing the weight by the acceleration due to gravity. That is

\begin{align*}
\text{m} & = \frac{\text{W}}{\textbf{g}}\\
& = \frac{155\ \text{lb}}{32.2 \ \text{ft/s}^2}\\
& = 4.81 \ \text{slug}\\
\end{align*}

Part B

Convert the slug to kilograms, knowing that 1 slug = 14.59 kg. 

\begin{align*}
\begin{align*}
\text{m} & = \left( \frac{155}{32.2} \text{slug}\right)\left( \frac{14.59 \ \text{kg}}{1 \ \text{kg}} \right)\\
& = 70.2 \ \text{kg}\\
\end{align*}
\end{align*}

Part C

Convert the 155 lb to newtons using 1 lb = 4.448 N. 

\begin{align*}
\textbf{W} & = 155 \ \text{lb}\times \frac{4.448 \ \text{N}}{1 \ \text{lb}}\\
& = 689 \ \text{N}\\
\end{align*}

Part D

Using the same formulas, but now \textbf{g}=5.30 \ \text{ft/s}^2.

\textbf{W}=155\left(\frac{5.30}{32.2}\right)=25.5\:\text{lb}

Part E

\textbf{m}=155\left(\frac{14.59\:\text{kg}}{32.2}\right)=70.2\:\text{kg}

The force of gravity acting between two particles

Two particles have a mass of 8 kg and 12 kg, respectively. If they are 800 mm apart, determine the force of gravity acting between them. Compare this result with the weight of each particle.

Engineering Mechanics: Statics 13th Edition by RC Hibbeler, Problem 1-20
Engineering Mechanics: Statics 14th Edition by RC Hibbeler, Problem 1-21

Solution:

The force of gravity acting between them:

\begin{align*}
\textbf{F} & =\textbf{G}\cdot \frac{\text{m}_1\text{m}_2}{\text{r}^2}\\
& =66.73\left(10^{-12}\right) \text{m}^3/ \left( \text{kg} \cdot \text{s}^2 \right)   \left[\frac{8 \  \text{kg} \left(12\ \text{kg}\right)}{\left(0.8\ \text{m} \right)^2}\right]\\
&=10\left(10^{-9}\right)\ \text{N}\\
& =10.0 \ \text{nN}\\
\end{align*}

The weight of the 8 kg particle

\textbf{W}_1=8\left(9.81\right)=78.5\:\text{N}

Weight of the 12 kg particle

\textbf{W}_2=12\left(9.81\right)=118\:\text{N}

Evaluation of Expressions to SI Units with Appropriate Prefix

Evaluate each of the following to three significant figures and express each answer in SI units using an appropriate prefix: (a) 354 mg (45 km)/(0.0356 kN), (b) (0.00453 Mg)(201 ms), and (c) 435 MN/23.2 mm.

Engineering Mechanics: Statics 13th Edition by RC Hibbeler, Problem 1-11
Engineering Mechanics: Statics 14th Edition by RC Hibbeler, Problem 1-18

Solution:

Part A

\begin{align*}
\frac{\left(354\:\text{mg}\right)\left(45\:\text{km}\right)}{0.0356\:\text{kN}} & = \frac{\left[354\left(10^{-3}\right)\:\text{g}\right]\left[45\left(10^3\right)\:\text{m}\right]}{0.0356\:\left(10^3\right)\:\text{N}}\\
& = \frac{0.447\:\left(10^3\right)\text{g}\cdot \text{m}}{\text{N}}\\
& = 0.447\:\text{kg}\cdot \text{m/N}
\end{align*}

Part B

\begin{align*}
\left(0.00453\:\text{Mg}\right)\left(201\:\text{ms}\right) & =\left[4.53\left(10^{-3}\right)\left(10^3\right)\text{kg}\right]\left[201\:\left(10^{-3}\right)\text{s}\right]\\
& =0.911\:\text{kg}\cdot \text{s}\\
\end{align*}

Part C

\begin{align*}
435\:\text{MN}/23.2\:\text{mm} & =\frac{435\:\left(10^6\right)\:\text{N}}{23.2\:\left(10^{-3}\right)\:\text{m}}\\
& = \frac{18.75\left(10^9\right)\:\text{N}}{\text{m}}\\
& =18.8\:\text{GN/m}
\end{align*}
