ENGR 34 Chapter 3, Day 33D Point Equilibrium • 3D point equilibrium • Hints for Ch 3 Problem 66 & 49
3D Point Equilibrium • 3 Scalar equations from SF = 0 • Check # Equation = # Unknowns • Use position vectors to get force vectors • Use calculator and avoid angles
Hint for Ch 3 Problem 66 The 80 lb bucket is being hoisted using three springs, each with an unstretched length of 1.5 ft and stiffness of 50 lb/ft. Determine d.
Hint for Ch 3 Problem 49 Determine the maximum weight of the crate so that the tension developed in any cable does not exceed 450 lbs.
Hint for Ch 3 Problem 49 • Guess 1st cable = 450 lb, solve 3x3, repeat • Use Load = 1 lb, solve 3x3 and scale up (linear) • Use unknown W in the b vector for 3x4 RREF
Key Topics • 3 Scalar equations from SF = 0 • Check # Equations = # Unknowns • Use position vectors to get force vectors • Use calculator and avoid angles
