Question

Chapter 6, Problem 6/008 GO Tutorial (video solution to similar problem attached) The frame is made from uniform rod which has a mass ? per unit length. A smooth recessed slot constrains the small rollers at A and B to travel horizontally. Force P is applied to the frame through a cable attached to an adjustable collar C. Determine the magnitudes and directions of the normal forces which act on the rollers if (a) h-0.30L, (b) h-0.50, and (c) h 0.90L. The forces will be positive if up, negative if down. Evaluate your results for ? 2.0 kg /m, L-430 mm, and P- 52 N. What is the acceleration of the frame in each case? Answers (a) h. 0.30L: A = (b) h-0.50L: A (c) h = 0.90L: A N, N, N, N, m/s2 m/s2 m/s
