    This document outlines the problems for a homework assignment in ME 338 Spring 2014. It includes four problems involving: 1. Drawing a free body diagram and determining bearing reactions for a bell crank system with a vertical force producing a tension in a control rod. 2. Drawing a free body diagram and determining force and moment reactions for a freeway sign supported by a single mast and subjected to wind forces. 3. Calculating the impact force felt by a valve handle when struck by a hammer, given the hammer and handle masses and the stiffness of the handle. 4. Drawing free body, shear, and moment diagrams for a shaft with belt forces applied to a central sheave. Includes determining stresses in top

    ME 338 Spring 2014 Homework #1 Due: 1/30/2014

    1. (5 Points) A vertical force P on the


    foot pedal of the bell crank is
    required to produce a tension T of
    445 N in the vertical control rod.
    a. Draw a free body diagram
    labelling all forces and
    their numerical values
    b. Determine the
    corresponding bearing
    reactions at A and B

    2. (5 Points) A freeway sign
    measuring 12ft by 6ft is supported
    on a single mast as
    shown. The sign
    supporting the
    framework and mast
    together weigh 500lb
    with center of gravity
    10ft away from the
    vertical centerline of the
    mast. When the sign is
    subjected to the direct
    blast of a 75 mi/hr wind,
    an average pressure
    difference of 17.5 lb/ft2
    is developed between
    the front and the back
    sides of the sign with
    the resultant of the
    wind-pressure forces
    acting at the center of
    the sign
    a. Draw a free body
    diagram
    b. Determine the
    magnitudes of
    the force and moment reactions at the base of the mast

    3. (5 Points) Immovable Valve Handle(see figure below): The handle of a valve is struck
    with a hammer in attempts to loosen it. This is obviously stressful for the handle. The
    hammer has mass of 1kg and the valve handle has mass of 0.1kg. What is the impact
    force felt at the handle? The stiffness of the handle is 60,000 N/m and the hammer is
    swung at 2 m/s.
    ME 338 Spring 2014 Homework #1 Due: 1/30/2014




    4. (5 Points) The shaft shown in the figure above is 200mm long between ball bearings A
    and B. Belt forces are applied to a sheave in the center as shown below. The left end of
    the shaft is connected to a clutch by means of a flexible coupling. Nothing is attached to
    the right end.
    a. Draw a free body diagram and also the shear and moment diagrams
    b. Determine and make a sketch showing the stresses acting on the top and side
    elements T and S, located adjacent to the sheave (Neglect any stress
    concentration)
    c. Draw Mohrs circle and determine the principal stresses
