An aluminum pole for a street light weighs4600 N and supports an arm that weighs 660 N (seefigure). The center of gravity of the arm is 1.2 m from theaxis of the pole. A wind force of 300 N also acts in the (-y)direction at 9 m above the base. The outside diameter ofthe pole (at its base) is 225 mm, and its thickness is 18 mm. Determine the maximum tensile and compressivestresses σt and σc, respectively, in the pole (at its base)due to the weights and the wind force.

The rigid bar ABC is suspended from three wires of the same material. The cross-sectional area of the wire at B is equal to half of the cross-sectional area of the wires at A and C. Determine the tension in each wire caused by the load P.
A long re Lai nine: wall is braced by wood shores set at an angle of 30° and supported by concrete thrust blocks, as shown in the first part of the figure. The shores are evenly spaced at 3 m apart. For analysis purposes, the wall and shores are idealized as shown in the second part of the figure. Note that the base of the wall and both ends of the shores are assumed to be pinned. The pressure of the soil against the wall is assumed to be triangularly distributed, and the resultant force acting on a 3-meter length of the walls is F = 190 kN. If each shore has a 150 mm X 150 mm square cross section, what is the compressive stress
