Question 5 The exercise machine is designed with a lightweight cart which is mounted on small rollers so that it is free to move along the inclined ramp. Two cables are attached to the cart-one for each hand. If the hands are together so that the cables are parallel and if each cable lies essentially in a vertical plane, determine the force P which each hand must exert on its cable in order to maintain an equilibrium position. The mass of the person is 70 kg, the ramp angle theta is 15 degrees, and the angle beta is 18 degrees. In addition, calculate the force R which the ramp exerts on the cart.

Frames & Machines The truck shown is used to deliver food to aircraft. The elevated unit weighs 2000 Ib with center of gravity at G. 1- Derive the expression for the force in the hydraulic cylinder AB as a function of 0 (the angle that member FD makes with the horizontal). 2- Plot the force over the range 0° < 0 < 45° and discuss your observations. Note: | would suggest that you first solve the problem based on the position (angle) shown. You will need to determine the length of members FD and FB before solving the problem for arbitrary 0. Note that the location of the roller at D and hence the force reactions will change as 0 varies. 40" 17" 57" C 54" E 54" H AB
