Tutorial (Chapter 4)

1. Determine the location (̅,) of the centroid of the wire.

2. The plate is made of steel having a density of 7850 kg/m3. If the thickness of the plate is

10 mm, determine the horizontal and vertical components of reaction at the pin A and the

tension in cable BC.

3. The plate has a thickness of 0.5 in. and is made of steel having a specific weight of 490

lb/ft3. Determine the horizontal and vertical components of reaction at the pin A and the

force in the cord at B.



4. Locate the centroid (̅,,̅) of the wire.

5. Each of the three members of the frame has a mass per unit length of 6 kg/m. Locate the

position (̅,) of the center of mass. Neglect the size of the pins at the joints and the

thickness of the members. Also, calculate the reactions at the pin A and roller E.



6. The car rests on four scales and in this position the scale readings of both the front and

rear tires are shown by FA and FB. When the rear wheels are elevated to a height of 3 ft

above the front scales, the new readings of the front wheels are also recorded. Use this

data to compute the location ̅ and to the center of gravity G of the car. The tires each

have a diameter of 1.98 ft.



7. The truss is made from seven members, each having a mass per unit length of 6 kg/m.

Locate the position (̅,) of the center of mass. Neglect the mass of the gusset plates at the

joints.

8. Determine the surface area of the roof of the structure if it is formed by rotating the parabola about

the y axis.

9. The process tank is used to store liquids during manufacturing. Estimate both the volume

of the tank and its surface area. The tank has a flat top and a thin wall.



10. The elevated water storage tank has a conical top and hemispherical bottom and is

fabricated using thin steel plate.

a. Determine how many square feet of plate is needed to fabricate the tank.

b. Determine the volume within the tank.
