The driver of a pickup truck accelerates from rest to a speed of 37 mi/hr over a horizontal distance of 215 ft with constant acc

eleration. The truck is hauling an empty 460-lb trailer with a uniform 72-lb gate hinged at O and held in the slightly tilted position by two pegs, one on each side of the trailer frame at A. Determine the maximum shearing force developed in each of the two pegs during the acceleration.

Answer:

Maximum shearing force developed in each of the two pegs during acceleration is 1830 lbf

Explanation:

First we will find the acceleration of pickup truck.

As, the acceleration is uniform, therefore we can use Newton's third equation of motion:

2as = V_{f}^{2}-V_{i}^{2}

First convert speed into ft/sec

1 mile/hr = 1.47 ft/sec

therefore,

37 mile/hr = 37 x 1.47 ft/sec

37 mile/hr =  54.39 ft/sec

with initial speed 0 ft/sec (starting from rest), using in equation of motion:

a = [(54.39 ft/sec)² - (0 ft/sec)²]/2(215 ft)

a = 6.88 ft/sec²

Now, the total shear force will be given by Newton's second law of motion:

F = ma

F = (460 lbm +72 lbm)(6.88 ft/sec²)

F = 3660 lbf

Now for the max shear force in each of the two pegs we divide total fore by 2:

Force in each peg = F/2 = (3660 lbf)/2

<u>Force in each peg = 1830 lbf</u>

in this since your volume remains at a constant you'll need to use Gay-Lussacs law, p1/t1=p2/t2.

your temp should be converted in kelvin

variables:

p1=3.0×10^6 n/m^2

t1= 270k

just add 273 to your celcius

p2= ? your solving for this

t2= 315k

then you set up the equation

(3.0×10^6)/270= (x)(315)

you then cross multiply

(3.0×10^6)315=270x

distribute the 315 to the pressure.

9.45×10^8=270x then you divide 270 o both sides to get

answer

3.5×10^6 n/m^2
