PROBLEM 6.159
The gears D and G are rigidly attached
to shafts that are held by frictionless
bearings. If r
D
90 mm and r
G
30
mm, determine (a) the couple
M0
that
must be applied for equilibrium, (b) the
reactions at A and B.

PROBLEM 6.160
In the planetary gear system shown, the radius of the central gear A is
a 18 mm, the radius of each planetary gear is b, and the radius of the
outer gear E is (a 2b). A clockwise couple of magnitude M
A
10 N m
is applied to the central gear A and a counterclockwise couple of
magnitude M
S
50 N m is applied to the spider BCD. If the system is
to be in equilibrium, determine (a) the required radius b of the
planetary gears, (b) the magnitude M
E
of the couple that must be
applied to the outer gear E.
PROBLEM 6.161*
Two shafts AC and CF, which lie in the vertical xy plane, are connected by a universal joint at C. The
bearings at B and D do not exert any axial force. A couple of magnitude 500 lb in. (clockwise when
viewed from the positive x-axis) is applied to shaft CF at F. At a time when the arm of the crosspiece
attached to shaft CF is horizontal, determine (a) the magnitude of the couple that must be applied to shaft
AC at A to maintain equilibrium, (b) the reactions at B, D, and E. (Hint: The sum of the couples exerted
on the crosspiece must be zero.)

Two shafts AC and CF, which lie in the vertical xy plane, are connected by a universal
joint at C. The bearings at B and D do not exert any axial force. A couple of magnitude 500 lb · in.
(clockwise when viewed from the positive x-axis) is applied to shaft CF at F. At a time when the arm of
the crosspiece attached to shaft CF is horizontal, determine (a) the magnitude of the couple that must be
applied to shaft AC at A to maintain equilibrium, (b) the reactions at B, D, and E. (Hint: The sum of the
couples exerted on the crosspiece must be zero.)

The large mechanical tongs shown are used to grab and lift a
thick 7500-kg steel slab HJ. Knowing that slipping does not
occur between the tong grips and the slab at H and J, determine
the components of all forces acting on member EFH. (Hint:
Consider the symmetry of the tongs to establish relationships
between the components of the force acting at E on EFH and the
components of the force acting at D on DGJ.)
