so i was wondering what assumptions needed to make this solvable and ' support at both thrust collars can totally support the moments of 400 Nm before they slip' means which axis of moment
Is that a specified assumption, or an additional assumption ?lakuzamalakuzam said:The structure weight is negligible.
but then there will be 9 unknowns ( Fx ,F//OA, Fperpendicular to OA, couple in OA axis for each of the thrust collar and W) with 3 scalar equation and 1 vector equation = 4 eqlakuzamalakuzam said:Yeah It's a homework problem.
I'm not sure what the problem means when it says 400 NM but from my understanding i think it is in OA axis with assumption that the system is properly aligned.
The structure weight is negligible.

Equilibrium in statics refers to a state in which all forces acting on an object are balanced, resulting in a net force of zero. This means that the object is either at rest or moving at a constant velocity.
An object is in equilibrium if the sum of all forces acting on it is equal to zero. This can be determined by using the equations of static equilibrium, which state that the sum of all forces in the x-direction and the sum of all forces in the y-direction must both be equal to zero.
Static equilibrium refers to a state in which an object is at rest or moving at a constant velocity, while dynamic equilibrium refers to a state in which an object is moving at a constant velocity in a straight line. In dynamic equilibrium, the sum of all forces acting on the object is still equal to zero, but there may also be a non-zero net torque acting on the object.
The center of mass in statics can be calculated by finding the weighted average of the positions of all the individual particles that make up the object. This can be done by multiplying the mass of each particle by its distance from a chosen reference point, and then dividing the sum of these values by the total mass of the object.
Statics has many practical applications, including in the design and construction of buildings, bridges, and other structures. It is also used in the analysis of forces acting on objects in various situations, such as in sports and transportation. Additionally, statics is important in understanding the stability of objects and structures, as well as in the study of fluid mechanics.
