Force Analysis
Forces
Forces are transmitted from a machine member
to another through contact surfaces. The
contact surfaces might be in the forms of:
A round pin turning in circular slot
A round pin sliding or rolling in a linear slot
Mating gear teeth
Cam in contact with the follower
A piston sliding in a cylinder
A screw turning in a threaded hole
Equilibrium
A link might be in a state of:
Static Equilibrium
All machine members must be designed to be able
to withstand the static load. To analyse for the static
load on each member, the concept of static
equilibrium must be applied to the machine member.
For an object to be in static equilibrium, the following
conditions apply:
sum of all external forces acting on the object
F = 0;
sum of all moments about an arbitrary point on the
object MA = 0
2-Force Member
If an object is:
in static equilibrium
has only two joints (or contact points) to other links
not subjected to an external force or torque,
then the object is a 2-force member.

Ans: 28.9 Nm
analysis
The force magnitude is Ff = N where is the
frictional coefficient and N is the reaction force acting
normal to the contacting surface
The direction of the force is opposite to the direction
of motion (for dynamic friction) or potential motion
(for static friction)
