Question

The wrench A is used to hold the pipe in a stationary

position while wrench B is used to tighten the elbow fitting.

Determine the magnitude of force FB in order to develop a

torque of 50 N*m about the y axis. Also, what is the required

magnitude of force FA in order to counteract this moment?

Explanation / Answer

Moment


= Fb sin 120 *300 mm


= 46.76 N-m


Fa sin 135 = Fb sin 120 =50sin 120



Fa=61.2372435696 N
