SOLUTION

Free Body Diagram: The tension in cable AC can be determined by releasing
cable AC. The system has only one degree of freedom defined by the independent
coordinate u. When u undergoes a positive displacement du, only FAC and the weight
of lamp (10 lb force) do work.
Virtual Displacement: Force FAC and 10 lb force are located from the fixed point B
using position coordinates yA and xA.
xA = l cos u
dxA = - l sin udu
(1)
yA = l sin u
dyA = l cos udu
(2)
Virtual–Work Equation: When yA and xA undergo positive virtual displacements
dyA and dxA, the 10 lb force and horizontal component of FAC, FAC cos 30°, do
positive work while the vertical component of FAC, FAC sin 30°, does negative work.
dU = 0;
10dyA - FAC sin 30°dyA + FAC cos 30°, dxA = 0
(3)
Substituting Eqs. (1) and (2) into (3) yields
(10 cos u - 0.5FAC cos u - 0.8660FAC sin u)ldu = 0
Since ldu Z 0, then
FAC =
10 cos u

If a force of P = 5 lb is applied to the handle of the
mechanism, determine the force the screw exerts on the cork

through the collar that is attached to the bottle neck at B.
P 5 lb
D
SOLUTION
A
Free - Body Diagram: When u undergoes a positive virtual angular displacement of
du, the dash line configuration shown in Fig. a is formed. We observe that only the
force in the screw Fs and force P do work when the virtual displacements take place.
u 30°
3 in.
B
Virtual Displacement: The position of the points of application for Fs and P are
specified by the position coordinates yA and yD, measured from the fixed point B,
respectively.
yA = 2(3 sin u)
dyA = 6 cos udu
(1)
yD = 6(3 sin u)
dyD = 18 cos udu
(2)
Virtual Work Equation: Since P acts towards the positive sense of its corresponding
virtual displacement, it does positive work. However, the work of Fs is negative
since it acts towards the negative sense of its corresponding virtual displacement.
Thus,
dU = 0;
PdyD +
A - FSdyA B = 0
(3)
Substituting P = 5 lb, Eqs. (1) and (2) into Eq. (3),
5(18 cos udu)FS (6 cos udu) = 0
cos udu(90 - 6FS) = 0
Since cos udu Z 0, then
90 - 6FS = 0

Virtual Displacement. The positions of Fsp and W are measured from fixed point B
using position coordinates x and y respectively.
x = 0.3 cos u + 0.05 dx = -0.3 sin u du
(1)
y = 0.3 sin u + 0.1 dy = 0.3 cos udu
(2)
Virtual–Work Equation. When Fsp, W and M undergo their respective positive
virtual displacement, all of them do negative work. Thus
dU = 0;
- 2Fsp dx - Wdy - 2Mdu = 0
(3)
Substitute Eqs. (1) and (2) into (3),
- 2Fsp( -0.3 sin udu) - W(0.3 cos udu) - 2Mdu = 0
(0.6Fsp sin u - 0.3 W cos u - 2M)du = 0
Since du ≠ 0, then
0.6 Fsp sin u - 0.3 W cos u - 2M = 0

When u = 30°, Fsp = kx = 3000(0.1) = 300 N. Also W = 25(9.81) = 245.25 N.
Substitute these values into Eq. 4.

Free - Body Diagram: When u undergoes a positive virtual angular displacement of

spring force Fsp acting at points A and B and the force P do work when the virtual

force formula,
Fsp = kx = 15(103) C 2(0.2 sin u) - 2(0.2 sin 15°) D = 6000(sin u - 0.2588) N
Virtual Displacement: The position of points A and B at which Fsp acts and point C
at which force P acts are specified by the position coordinates yA, yB, and yC,
measured from the fixed point E, respectively.
yA = 0.2 sin u

yB = 3(0.2 sin u)
dyB = 0.6 cos udu
(2)
yC = 8(0.2 sin u)
dyB = 1.6 cos udu
(3)
Virtual Work Equation: Since Fsp at point A and force P acts towards the positive
sense of its corresponding virtual displacement, their work is positive. The work of
Fsp at point B is negative since it acts towards the negative sense of its
corresponding virtual displacement. Thus,
Fsp dyA + A - FspdyB B + PdyC = 0
dU = 0;
(4)
Substituting Fsp = 6000(sin u - 0.2588), P = 600 N, Eqs. (1), (2), and (3) into Eq. (4),
