Rigid Body Statics in 3 Dimensions

Physics
1 answer:
slamgirl [31]3 years ago

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram of the bar.

There are 3 reaction forces at O in the x, y, and z direction (Ox, Oy, and Oz).

There is a tension force Tac at A in the direction of the rope.  There are also tension forces Tbd and Tbe at B in the direction of the ropes.

Finally, there is a weight force mg pulling down halfway between A and B, where m = 400 kg.

There are 6 unknown variables, so we'll need 6 equations to solve.  Summing the forces in the x, y, and z direction will give us 3 equations.  Summing the torques about the x, y, and z axes will give us 3 more equations.

First, let's find the components of the tension forces.

Tbe is purely in the z direction.

Tbd has components in the y and z directions.  The length of Tbd is √8.

(Tbd)y = 2/√8 Tbd

(Tbd)z = 2/√8 Tbd

Tac has components in the x, y, and z directions.  The length of Tac is √6.

(Tac)x = 1/√6 Tac

(Tac)y = 1/√6 Tac

(Tac)z = 2/√6 Tac

Sum of the forces in the +x direction:

∑F = ma

Ox − (Tac)x = 0

Ox − 1/√6 Tac = 0

Sum of the forces in the +y direction:

∑F = ma

Oy + (Tac)y + (Tbd)y − mg = 0

Oy + 1/√6 Tac + 2/√8 Tbd − mg = 0

Sum of the forces in the +z direction:

∑F = ma

Oz − (Tac)z − (Tbd)z − Tbe = 0

Oz − 2/√6 Tac − 2/√8 Tbd − Tbe = 0

Sum of the torques counterclockwise about the x-axis:

∑τ = Iα

mg (2 m) − (Tac)y (2 m) − (Tbd)y (2 m) = 0

mg − (Tac)y − (Tbd)y = 0

mg − 1/√6 Tac − 2/√8 Tbd = 0

Sum of the torques counterclockwise about the y-axis:

∑τ = Iα

-(Tac)x (2 m) + (Tbd)z (1.5 m) + Tbe (1.5 m) = 0

-4 (Tac)x + 3 (Tbd)z + 3 Tbe = 0

-4/√6 Tac + 6/√8 Tbd + 3 Tbe = 0

Sum of the torques counterclockwise about the z-axis:

∑τ = Iα

-mg (0.75 m) + (Tbd)y (1.5 m) = 0

-mg + 2 (Tbd)y = 0

-mg + 4/√8 Tbd = 0

As you can see, by summing the torques about axes passing through O, we were able to write 3 equations independent of those reaction forces.  We can solve these equations for the tension forces, then go back and find the reaction forces.

-mg + 4/√8 Tbd = 0

4/√8 Tbd = mg

Tbd = √8 mg / 4

Tbd = √8 (400 kg) (9.8 m/s²) / 4

Tbd = 2772 N

mg − 1/√6 Tac − 2/√8 Tbd = 0

1/√6 Tac = mg − 2/√8 Tbd

Tac = √6 (mg − 2/√8 Tbd)

Tac = √6 ((400 kg) (9.8 m/s²) − 2/√8 (2772 N))

Tac = 4801 N

-4/√6 Tac + 6/√8 Tbd + 3 Tbe = 0

3 Tbe = 4/√6 Tac − 6/√8 Tbd

Tbe = (4/√6 Tac − 6/√8 Tbd) / 3

Tbe = (4/√6 (4801 N) − 6/√8 (2772 N)) / 3

Tbe = 653 N

Now, using our sum of forces equations to find the reactions:

Ox − 1/√6 Tac = 0

Ox = 1/√6 Tac

Ox = 1/√6 (4801 N)

Ox = 1960 N

Oy + 1/√6 Tac + 2/√8 Tbd − mg = 0

Oy = mg − 1/√6 Tac − 2/√8 Tbd

Oy = (400 kg) (9.8 m/s²) − 1/√6 (4801 N) − 2/√8 (2772 N)

Oy = 0 N

Oz − 2/√6 Tac − 2/√8 Tbd − Tbe = 0

Oz = 2/√6 Tac + 2/√8 Tbd + Tbe

Oz = 2/√6 (4801 N) + 2/√8 (2772 N) + 653 N

Oz = 6533 N

Okay i'm totally stuck and nobody I know really gets it either, so i've turned to Yahoo for help :)
OlgaM077 [116]

Here is the rule for see-saws here on Earth, and there is no reason
to expect that it doesn't work exactly the same anywhere else:

                     (weight) x (distance from the pivot) <u>on one side</u>
is equal to
                     (weight) x (distance from the pivot) <u>on the other side</u>.

That's why, when Dad and Tiny Tommy get on the see-saw, Dad sits
closer to the pivot and Tiny Tommy sits farther away from it.

       (Dad's weight) x (short length) = (Tiny Tommy's weight) x (longer length).


So now we come to the strange beings on the alien planet.
There are three choices right away that both work:

<u>#1).</u>
(400 N) in the middle-seat, facing (200 N) in the end-seat.

       (400) x (1)  =    (200) x (2)

<u>#2).</u>
(200 N) in the middle-seat, facing (100 N) in the end-seat.

       (200) x (1)  =    (100) x (2)

<u>#3).</u>

On one side:  (300 N) in the end-seat       (300) x (2) = <u>600</u>

On the other side:
                      (400 N) in the middle-seat  (400) x (1) = 400
           and     (100 N) in the end-seat      (100) x (2) = 200
                                                    Total . . . . . . . . . . . . <u>600</u> 


These are the only ones to be identified at Harvard . . . . . . .
There may be many others but they haven't been discarvard.
