A 15,000 N crane pivots around a friction-free axle at its base and is supported by a cable making a 25° angle with the crane (Fig. E 11.18). The crane is 16 m long and is not uniform, its center of gravity being 7.0 m from the axle as measured along the crane. The cable is attached 3.0 m from the upper end of the crane. When the crane is raised to 55° above the horizontal holding an 11,000 N pallet of bricks by a 2.2 m, very light cord, find (a) the tension in the cable and (b) the horizontal and vertical components of the force that the axle exerts on the crane. Start with a free-body diagram of the crane.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The tension in the cable is 29304.54 N .

(b) The horizontal and vertical components of the force that the axle exerts on the crane are 25378.48 N and 40652.27 N respectively.

Step by step solution

01

Given information:

The weight of the crane is: W = 15,000 N .

The angle made by cable with the crane is:25∘.

The length of the crane is: 16 m .

The distance of the center of gravity from the axle is: 7 m .

The distance of cable attached from the upper end of the crane is: 3 m .

The angle of the crane is raised above the horizontal is: 55∘.

The weight of the pallet of bricks held by the crane is:W1=11,000N.

The length of the very light cord holding the pallet of bricks is: 2.2 m .

02

Force components:

When a force acts on an inclined component at an angle then it can be resolved into two components, horizontal and vertical components.

The value of the horizontal and vertical force components relies on the magnitude of the inclined force and its angle of inclination.

03

(a) The tension in the cable:

The free-body diagram of the crane is given by:

Here, T is the tension in the cable, Fxis the horizontal and Fyis the vertical components of the force that the axle exerts on the crane.

Taking moments about the axle of the crane,

W×7m×sin35+∘W1×16m×sin35-∘T×13m×sin25=∘0

Putting the values:

15000N×7m×0.574+11000N×16m×0.574-T×13m×0.423=060225.53+100949.45-5.5T=0T=161174.985.5T=29304.54N

Hence, the tension in the cable is 29304.54 N .

04

(b) The horizontal and vertical components of the force:

Balancing all the forces in the vertical direction,

Fy-W-W1-Tsin30=∘0Fy-15000N-11000N-29304.54N×0.5=0Fy=26000N+14652.27NFy=40652.27N

And, balancing all the forces in the horizontal direction,

Fx-Tcos30=∘0Fx-29304.54N×0.866=0Fx=25378.48N

Hence, the horizontal and vertical components of the force are 25378.48 N and 40652.27 N respectively.

A small rock is thrown vertically upward with a speed of22.0 m/s from the edge of the roof of a 30.0-m-tall building. Therock doesn’t hit the building on its way back down and lands onthe street below. Ignore air resistance. (a) What is the speed of therock just before it hits the street? (b) How much time elapses fromwhen the rock is thrown until it hits the street?

The most powerful engine available for the classic 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray developed 360 horsepower and had a displacement of 327 cubic inches. Express this displacement in liters (L) by using only the conversions 1 L = 1000 cm3 and 1 in. = 2.54 cm.
