M = R1x − 40⟨x − 4⟩1 + 30⟨x − 8⟩1 + R2⟨x − 14⟩1 − 60⟨x − 18⟩1
(2)
for x = 18+
V = 0
and
M = 0
Eqs. (1) and (2) give
0 = R1 − 40 + 30 + R2 − 60
⇒
R1 + R2 = 70
(3)
0 = R1(18) − 40(14) + 30(10) + 4R2
⇒
9R1 + 2R2 = 130
(4)
Solve (3) and (4) simultaneously to get R1 = −1.43 lbf, R2 = 71.43 lbf.
Ans.
From Eqs. (1) and (2), at x = 0+, V = R1 = −1.43 lbf, M = 0
x = 4+:
V = −1.43 − 40 = −41.43, M = −1.43x
x = 8+:
V = −1.43 − 40 + 30 = −11.43
M = −1.43(8) − 40(8 − 4)1 = −171.44
x = 14+:
V = −1.43 − 40 + 30 + 71.43 = 60
M = −1.43(14) − 40(14 − 4) + 30(14 − 8) = −240.
x = 18+:
V = 0, M = 0

(1)
M = R0x − M0 − 2000⟨x − 0.2⟩1 − 2000⟨x − 0.35⟩2 + 2000⟨x − 0.5⟩2
(2)
at x = 0.5+m, V = M = 0, Eqs. (1) and (2) give
R0 − 2000 − 4000(0.5 − 0.35) = 0
⇒
R1 = 2600 N = 2.6 kN
Ans.
R0(0.5) − M0 − 2000(0.5 − 0.2) − 2000(0.5 − 0.35)2 = 0
with R0 = 2600 N, M0 = 655 N · m
Ans.
With R0 and M0, Eqs. (1) and (2) give the same V and M curves as Prob. 3-3 (note for
V, M0⟨x⟩−1 has no physical meaning).

(b) With straight rigid wires, the mobile is not stable. Any perturbation can lead to all wires
becoming collinear. Consider a wire of length l bent at its string support:
�
Ma = 0
�
Ma = iWl
i + 1 cos α − ilW
i + 1 cos β = 0
iWl
i + 1(cos α − cos β) = 0
Moment vanishes when α = β for any wire. Consider a ccw rotation angle β, which
makes α → α + β and β → α − β
Ma = iWl
i + 1[cos(α + β) − cos(α − β)]
= 2iWl
i + 1 sin α sin β .= 2iWlβ
i + 1 sin α
There exists a correcting moment of opposite sense to arbitrary rotation β. An equation
for an upward bend can be found by changing the sign of W. The moment will no longer
be correcting. A curved, convex-upward bend of wire will produce stable equilibrium
too, but the equation would change somewhat.

Likewise,
σy = E(ϵy + νϵx)

From Table A-5, E = 207 GPa and ν = 0.292. Thus,
σx = E(ϵx + νϵy)

an increase in ri.
