Section 2: Stress Analysis (20 points)
This is the same four bar used in your previous homework. We put a few
sensors in our joints and measured the following values:
Fcx=-0.57N
Fcy=2.22N
Fox=10.57N
Foy=-2.22N
T=688.09N**mm
A curious engineer discovered that the tangent of the angle theta4 had the
same value of Fcy divided by Fcx.
a. Thinking about direction of forces, and all the possible kinds of stresses
that a system can be subjected to, what are the stresses present at the
link BC?
b. Could I replace the link BC with a fishing line made of nylon, with a
circular section area of 1mm2? Calculate the stress we would
observe in this situation? (Attention to units: Pa is given by Nm, while
1Nmm would automatically be 1 kPa )
c. If I were to tell you that the Yield Strength of our material was 100 MPa , and considering a Safety Factor
of 2, what is the smallest diameter possible? (Hint: The cross-section of this wire is circular, and the
values that you will find will be very small)
