Chapter 5 Problem 5-19

Question

The shelf supports the electric motor which has a mass of 15 kg and mass center at Gm. The platform upon which it rests has a mass of 4 kg and mass center at Gp. Assuming that a single bolt B holds the shelf up and the bracket bears against the smooth wall at A , determine this normal force at A and the horizontal and vertical components of reaction of the bolt on the bracket.

Solution

Step 1 of 5)

The first step in solving 5 problem number 19 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: The shelf supports the electric motor which has a mass of 15 kg and mass center at Gm. The platform upon which it rests has a mass of 4 kg and mass center at Gp. Assuming that a single bolt B holds the shelf up and the bracket bears against the smooth wall at A , determine this normal force at A and the horizontal and vertical components of reaction of the bolt on the bracket.
From the textbook chapter Equilibrium of a Rigid Body you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
