Question: Given: a : = 4 0 * m m M t o n g u e : = 1 0 0 * k g F

Given:
a:=40*mm
Mtongue:=100*kgFpull:=4.905*kN
,
The trailer hitch shown in Figure P4-2 and Figure 1-1 has loads applied as defined in Problem
3-4. The tongue weight of 100 kg acts downward and the pull force of 4905 N acts horizontally.
Using the dimensions of the ball bracket shown in Figure 1-5, determine:
(a) The principal stresses in the shank of the ball where it joins the ball bracket.
(b) The bearing stress in the ball bracket hole.
c:=70*mm,d:=20*mm
dsh:=26*mm
t:=19*mm
The internal bending moment at A on the FBD of the ball
M:=Fpull*a
Distance to neutral axis
csh:=0.5*dsh
Moment of inertia of shank ,Ish:=*(dsh)464
Bending stress at A,x:=M*cshIsh
1:=x
Abearng:=dsh*t
beanng:=FpullAbeanng
