1. Determine the resultant internal normal and shear
force in the member at (a) section a-a and (b) section b-b, each of which passes through point A. The 500 N load is applied along the centroidal axis of the member.
2. Determine the resultant internal loadings acting on
the cross section through point D of member AB.
3. The 800 N load is being hoisted at a constant
speed using the motor M, which has a weight of 90 N. Determine the resultant internal loadings acting on the cross section through point B in the beam. The beam has a weight of 40 N/m and is fixed to the wall at A. (Ans: 0.4 kN, 0.84 kN, 0.728 kNm)
4. The main beam AB supports the load on the wing
of the airplane. The loads consist of wheel reaction of 175000 N at C, the 6000 N weight of the fuel in the tank of the wing, having a center of gravity at D, and the 2000 N weight of the wing, having a center of gravity at E. If it is fixed to the fuselage at A, determine the resultant internal loadings on the beam at this point. Assume that the wing does not transfer any of the loads to the fuselage; except through the beam. 5. Determine the largest load P that can be applied to the frame without causing either the average normal stress or average shear stress at section a-a to exceed 150 MPa and 60 MPa, respectively. Member CB has a square cross section of 25 mm on each side. (Ans: 62.5 kN)
6. The wooden specimen is subjected to the pull of 10 KN in a tension
testing machine. If the allowable normal stress for the wood is 12 MPa and the allowable shear stress is 1.2 MPa, determine the required dimensions b and t so that the specimen reaches these stresses simultaneously. The specimen has a width of 25 mm. (Ans: 167 mm and 33.3 mm)
7. The guy wire AB of a building frame is originally
unstretched. Due to an earthquake, the two columns of the frame tilt 2 degrees. Determine the approximate normal strain in the wire when the frame is in this position. Assume the columns are rigid and rotate about their lower supports. (Ans: 16.8 milli m/m) 8. The corners B and D of the square plate are given the displacement indicated. Determine the shear strains at A and B. (Ans: 0.206 rad and -0.206 rad)
9. The acrylic plastic rod is 200 mm long and 15 mm in
diameter. If an axial load of 300 N is applied to it, determine the change in its length and the change in its diameter. 𝐸𝑃 = 2.70 𝐺𝑃𝑎, 𝜈𝑃 = 0.4. (Ans: 0.126 mm and -0.00377 mm)
10. The elastic portion of the stress-strain diagram for a steel
alloy is shown in the figure. The specimen from which it was obtained had an original diameter of 13 mm and a gauge length of 50 mm. When the applied load on the specimen is 50 kN, the diameter is 12.99265mm. Determine the Poisson’s ratio for the material. (Ans: 0.300)
