Thanks for clearing that up HTURKAK makes a bit more sense
The only thing i still dont quite understand is the R1 = -R2 = F1*d1/((d2+d3)/2) and COG component you have used. I would think it would be F1*d1/(2*(d2+d3)). Given what you mentioned about the simply supported beams and pictue below...
Is it ok to assume that moment will be distributed amongst the four wheels equally? I would think that because the lever arms are different (i.e d2 and d3) the resulting forces would also be different
Hi All,
I'm having some issues with probably a basic force and moment resolving equation. I basically have a conveyor pulley that is mounted on a trolley with with 4 wheels on a rail. The pulley has two opposing and equal forces (f1 and f2). f1 represents the tension of the belt against the...
