The boys loved the hilly chair so much, oh did they love that chair. Theboys wanted everyone to have a hilly chair so they decided to figure out how the hilly chair was made so they can built seventy seven hundred and three for the children of the kingdom.

What is the total weight of the hilly chair?Wtotal= _ KN?
Individual volumes based on the Rhino model
A 1 509 006 mm³
B 1 534 318 mm³
C 1 609 529 mm³
D 463 098 mm³
6.07 KN / m³
Density of Birch plywood
The total weight of the hilly chair is thesum of multiplying each volume by its density.
Wtotal = Vtotal x density
= 0.006042 m³ X 6.07 KN / m³ = 0.036675 KN = 36.7 N
Vtotal = 3X D + A + B + C = 3 ( 463 098 mm³) + 1 509 006 mm³ + 1 534 318 mm³ + 1 609 529 mm³ = 1 389 294 mm³ + 4 652 853 mm³ = 6 042 147 mm³ = 0.006042 m³
The total weight of the hilly chair is 36.7 N, or 3.74 Kg.
Ftotal = MA36.7N = M x 9.8 m/s ² = 3.74 Kg
Vtotal = 3X D + A + B + C = 3 ( 463 098 mm³) + 1 509 006 mm³ + 1 534 318 mm³ + 1 609 529 mm³ = 1 389 294 mm³ + 4 652 853 mm³ = 6 042 147 mm³ = 0.006042 m³
What are the chair’sreactions ?
Reaction of the front right leg when Fuzzy cub stands on the hilly chair.
When Fuzzy cub stands above the right leg of the hilly chair, he sets the chair up for the potential of reaching its worst case loading scenario. The worst case loading scenario for the hilly chair is one chair leg carrying 1/3 of the weight of the chair and all of Fuzzy’s weight.
Therefore Ftotal = W/3 + FFuzzy
F = ( 36.7 N/3 ) + ( 9.8 m/s ² x 68 kg ) = 678.6 N
Thus the reaction force at the right leg in this loading scenario is 678.6 N.
Area of Fuzzy’s distributed load

Reaction of each leg when no one is sitting on the Chair.
The seat of the hilly chair can be considered as an equilateral shape. This makes �nding the reaction forces at each leg fairly straightforward. Each leg must support 1/3 of the weight of the seat.
Therefore F = W/3
F = 36.7 N/3 = 12.23 N
Thus the reaction force at each leg in this loading scenario is 12.23 N.
Reaction of each leg with load at the centre of the Chair.
If a load is placed at the centre of the chair. The reaction forces are still F = W/3 . For example, a load of 68 kg will be distributed equally to the 3 legs.
Therefore F = W/3
F = [ 36.7 N + (9.8 m/s ² x 68 kg ) ] /3 = 234.4 N
Thus the reaction force at each leg in this loading scenario is 234.4 N.
How much load does each leg of the hilly chaircarry?

What is the dead load?
Since the load is located at the centre of the seat, the reactions should be symetrical at legs A, B and C.
Therefore F = W/3
F = 36.7 N/3 = 12.23 NThus each leg in this loading scenario carries 12.23 N of dead load.
What is the live load?
Leg A = 667 N ( 313.3 mm / 380 mm ) = 549.9 N

To find the overturning force of the hilly chair, we must find its centerof gravity.

A1 = 30 mm (380 mm) = 11 400 mm ²
A1, A2, A3, A4 must be calculated to �nd y.
Lets find y
A2 , based on the Rhino model = 19 000 mm ²
A3 = 38 mm (460 mm) = 17 480 mm ²
A4 = 38 mm (460 mm) = 17 480 mm ²
y1, y2, y3, y4 must be calculated to �nd y.
y1 = 1/2 (30 mm) = 15 mm ( From the top of the seat )
y2 = 1/3 ( 100 mm) = 33.3 mm ( From the top of the terrain ) y2 = 449 mm - 30 mm - 33.3 mm = 385.7 mm
y3 = 2/3 (449 mm) = 299.3 mm ( From the ground ) y4 = 2/3 (449 mm) = 299.3 mm ( From the ground )
y can now be found since we now have A1, A2, A3, A4 and y1, y2, y3, y4.
y = y1A1 + y2A2 + y3A3 + y4A4 A1 + A2 + A3 + A4
= (385.7 mm)(19 000 mm ²) + 2(299.3 mm)(17 480 mm ²) + (434 mm)(11 400 mm ²)
19 000 mm ² + 2( 17 480 mm ² ) + 11 400 mm ²
= 347.92 mm

Now we can find the overturning force.
Foverturn = 667N (190 mm) = 282.2 N
Now we know how much force is required to tip the chair over. Lets �nd out how much force one needs to make the chair slide.
what’s the friction force ?
Ffriction = μ ( normal force ) = 0.25 ( 468.8 N) = 117.2 N
μ = 0,.25 For wood sliding on wood
117.2 N is the force required to slide the chair without tipping it over.
If a person is trying to tip over the seat while sitting on it, the force required to tip the chair would be:
εm = 0 A = A
667N ( 190mm ) = 380mm ( Force from feet pushing down ) Force pushing down = 333.5 N
Therefore 333.5 N is the vertical force required to �ip the chair. The force can be reducedif one’s feet apply force on an angle. The vertical force required to �ip the chair is decreased when is increased.

Yield Strength of birch plywood: 143.3 kpa
66.2 kpa < 143.3 kpa
τmax is less than the yield strength. Therefore, leg A is ok.

Let’s analyze the bearing stress
fy causes bearing stress on the legs of the chair, bearing stress can be calculated by :
σB = fytd
t= thickness of pin connection d= diameter of the pin (leg)
From Drawings: t= 38.1mm d= 50mm
High-load leg Leg A
σB = fytd
= 97.4N(38.1mm)(50mm)
= 51.1kpa
Yield Strength in crushing of birch plywood: 2448 kpa
51.1 kpa < 2448 kpaSince the bearng stress of of the high-load leg is under that of the yield strength in crushing of the wood, therefore the bearing stress is acceptable.
High-load leg Leg A
σB = fytd
= 35N(38.1mm)(50mm)
= 18.4 kpa
18.4 kpa < 2448 kpa Therefore the bearing stress is acceptable.
Axial load is transferred to the legs through the threads. The axial load in the seatmust be transferred to the chair. The only path for this is through the surface of the threaded connections. The threaded connections are 50mm in diameter, there are 12 threads per inch. Each thread has a depth of 3mm. Therefore the axial load is transferredthrough an area of :
=Area [ (38.1mm)(12 threads per inch / 25.4 mm per inch)] . [(2π x 50mm)(3mm)]= 16 905 mm²= 0.017 m² Perimeter Thread depth
Let’s analyze the axial stress
High-load legLeg A :
σ = 446.8N0.017 m²
= 26.3 kpa
Low-load legLeg B and C :
σ = 97.4N0.017 m²
= 5.7 kpa
Therefore the legs are ok !
fx = 446.2 N
LEG A
Pin
The diameter of the connecting pin is 1/2” and the force in each leg is transfered through the pin(not directly between the leg and the chair). The area of the pin is :
πr²= π (6.35mm)² = 127 mm²
The shear stress in the pin of the lightest compression member is the compression in that leg divided over twice the pin area since the pin goes through both sides of the chair.
τ = 446.2 N 2 (127mm²)
= 1.76 mpa
Let’s analyze the pin connection
So the boys built seventy seven hundred and three hilly chairsfor the children of the kingdom. Indeed, everyone lived happily ever after.
