Chapter 8 Problem 8-16

Question

Two hemispheres having an inner radius of 2 ft and wall thickness of 0.25 in. are fitted together, and the inside pressure is reduced to -10 psi. If the coefficient of static friction is \(\mu_{\mathrm{s}}=0.5\) between the hemispheres, determine (a) the torque T needed to initiate the rotation of the top hemisphere relative to the bottom one, (b) the vertical force needed to pull the top hemisphere off the bottom one, and (c) the horizontal force needed to slide the top hemisphere off the bottom one.

Solution

Step 1 of 6)

The first step in solving 8 problem number 16 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Two hemispheres having an inner radius of 2 ft and wall thickness of 0.25 in. are fitted together, and the inside pressure is reduced to -10 psi. If the coefficient of static friction is \(\mu_{\mathrm{s}}=0.5\) between the hemispheres, determine (a) the torque T needed to initiate the rotation of the top hemisphere relative to the bottom one, (b) the vertical force needed to pull the top hemisphere off the bottom one, and (c) the horizontal force needed to slide the top hemisphere off the bottom one.
From the textbook chapter Combined Loadings you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
