Chapter 3, Problem 3/55

(choose chapter or problem)

A portion of the shifter mechanism for a manual car transmission is shown in the figure. For the 8-N force exerted on the shift knob, determine the corresponding force P exerted by the shift link BC on the transmission (not shown). Neglect friction in the ball and-socket joint at O, in the joint at B, and in the slip tube near support D. Note that a soft rubber bushing at D allows the slip tube to self-align with link BC.
