SITUATION 5: The figure shows the landing gear of a light airplane. The strut AB is a hollow tube, with 50-mm outer diameter and 40-mm inner diameter. Maximum tire pressure is 6.12 MPa and equivalent pavement-tire contact area is 6500 mm2. Given: a = 400 mm; b = 600 mm 1. Calculate the reaction R, in kN. A. 43.25 C. 39.78 B. 56.78 D. 34.35 2. Determine the compressive stress in strut AB caused by the landing reaction R, in MPa A. 84.5 C. 88.5 B. 93.8 D. 91.6 3. Calculate the safe diameter (mm) of single bolt connecting either A or B, if it is subject to double shear. Allowable bolt shear is 225 MPa. A. 12 C. 14 B. 13 D. 15 Thanks for watching!
