Free-Body Diagram:
From free-body diagram of lever BCD
ΣM C = 0: TAB ( 50 mm ) − P ( 75 mm ) = 0
∴ TAB = 1.5P
(1)
ΣFx = 0: 0.6TAB + P − Cx = 0
∴ C x = P + 0.6TAB
(2)
Cx = P + 0.6 (1.5P ) = 1.9 P
From Equation (1)
ΣFy = 0: 0.8TAB − C y = 0
∴ C y = 0.8TAB
(3)
C y = 0.8 (1.5P ) = 1.2 P
From Equation (1)
From Equations (2) and (3)
C = C x2 + C y2 =
1.9 P
2
+ 1.2 P ) = 2.2472 P
2
Since Cmax = 500 N,
∴ 500 N = 2.2472Pmax
or
Pmax = 222.49 lb
or P = 222 lb
