AI Thread Summary
To determine the horizontal and vertical reactions of the chair on a 75 kg man seated at a 45-degree angle with a speed of 6 m/s and an acceleration of 0.5 m/s², one must apply the equations of motion relevant to the scenario. The analysis involves resolving forces acting on the man, including gravitational force and the forces due to acceleration. The chair's reactions can be calculated by considering the components of these forces in both horizontal and vertical directions. A step-by-step approach would include identifying all forces, applying Newton's second law, and using trigonometric functions to resolve the angles. This method will yield the required reactions at the specified conditions.

A man having the mass of 75 kg sits in the chair which
is pin-connected to the frame BC. If the man is always seated in
an upright position, determine the horizontal and vertical
reactions of the chair on the man at the instant theta = 45
degrees

. At this
instant he has a speed of 6 m/s, which is increasing at 0.5 m/s^2

if you can answer this great, but I am looking for someone who can more less give me a step by step to solve this. Thanks for the hlep

Thread 'Have I solved this structural engineering equation correctly?'
Hi all, I have a structural engineering book from 1979. I am trying to follow it as best as I can. I have come to a formula that calculates the rotations in radians at the rigid joint that requires an iterative procedure. This equation comes in the form of: $$ x_i = \frac {Q_ih_i + Q_{i+1}h_{i+1}}{4K} + \frac {C}{K}x_{i-1} + \frac {C}{K}x_{i+1} $$ Where: ## Q ## is the horizontal storey shear ## h ## is the storey height ## K = (6G_i + C_i + C_{i+1}) ## ## G = \frac {I_g}{h} ## ## C...
