The document discusses normal forces on a 1.4-Mg drainpipe held by a fork lift. It provides the solution using MathCad to determine the normal forces at points A and B as functions of the blade angle θ. Plots of the normal forces versus θ from 0 to 90 degrees show that the normal force at A is equal to the weight multiplied by the sine of θ, and at B is equal to the weight multiplied by the cosine of θ.

Solution by DF Sozinando Student at the Vaal University of Technology

The 1.4-Mg drainpipe is held in the tines of the fork lift. Determine the norm al forces at A and B as functions of the blade angle and plot the results of force (vertical axis) versus (horizontal axis) for 0 90

SOLUTION:

W := 1.4 10 kg g

W = 13.729 kN solve , A N W sin( ) explicit

N A - W sin( ) = 0 N A( ) := W sin( ) N B - W cos( ) = 0 N B( ) := W cos( )

solve , B N W cos( ) explicit
