Question

The figure shows a rear view of a loaded two-wheeled wheelbarrow on a horizontal surface. It has balloon tires and a weight W = 684 N, which is uniformly distributed. The left tire has a contact area with the ground of AL = 6.20 × 10-4 m2, whereas the right tire is underinflated and has a contact area of AR = 9.20 × 10-4 m2. Find (a) the force from the left tire, (b) the pressure from the left tire, (c) the force from the right tire, (d) the pressure from the right tire that each tire applies to the ground.

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Summing moments about the CG to zero will show that the two normal forces are equal and have a value of FL = FR = 684/2 = 342 N

Pressure on the left

PL = 342 / 6.20e-4 = 551,612.9032... = 5.5e5 Pa

Pressure on the right

PR = 342 / 9.20e-4 = 371,739.1304... = 3.7e5 Pa

Answer 2

A) The force from the left tire is; FL = 342 N

B) The pressure from the left tire is; PL = 551613 N/m²

C) The force from the right tire is; FR = 342 N

D) The pressure from the right tire is; PR = 371739 N/m²

We see that;

FL and FR are upward forces

W is the downward force.

We know that in equilibrium;

Sum of upward forces = sum of downward forces

Thus;

FL + FR = W

We are given W = 684 N

Since W is at the center, it means that FL = FR. Thus;

FL = FR = 684/2

FL = FR = 342 N

We are given;

Contact area of left tire; AL = 6.2 × 10⁻⁴ m²

Contact area of right tire; AR = 9.2 × 10⁻⁴ m²

Formula for pressure is;

Pressure = Force/Area

Pressure on the left tire;

PL = FL/AL

PL = 342/(6.2 × 10⁻⁴)

PL = 551613 N/m²

Pressure on the t right tire;

PR = FR/AR

PR = 342/(9.2 × 10⁻⁴)

PR = 371739 N/m²
