Question - Mechanical (two-piece carrier)

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on solving a mechanical problem involving a two-piece carrier, specifically calculating the reaction force By. The user initially calculated By as 0.448F, while the correct value is 0.3F. The error was identified in the moment calculation about point A, where a lever arm of 3a was incorrectly used instead of the correct 5a. The user successfully resolved the issue after receiving guidance on the equations and calculations.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Free Body Diagrams (FBD)
  • Knowledge of static equilibrium equations
  • Familiarity with lever arm concepts in mechanics
  • Basic proficiency in mechanical problem-solving techniques
NEXT STEPS
  • Review the principles of static equilibrium in mechanical systems
  • Study the calculation of moments in Free Body Diagrams
  • Learn about the application of lever arms in mechanical analysis
  • Practice solving mechanical problems involving multiple components
USEFUL FOR

Mechanical engineers, engineering students, and anyone involved in solving static equilibrium problems in mechanics will benefit from this discussion.

I have to solve this mechanical Problem...

I solved it, but I get fpór By=0,448F (see at my calculation!)
and the right answer is 0,3F...what did I wrong?

I should solve A B C! B is a two-piece carrier.

F and a is given!

I can't read all your numbers, but I notice in your equations for the FBD of the right part that when summing moments for By about A, you used a lever of 3a which should be 5a. Check all your math again. Otherwise, you have setup the 6 equations correctly.

Thank you so much!

I was looking so long, to find my mistake...but often it's good to get help for this!SO now I could solve all!Thank you!
