For the truss given below, it is desired to determine the normal efforts that act on the members, so that, thus, possible constraints for its design are possible. Consider that at point A there is a second gender support; and at point D, a first-class support. As this is asked: what is the effort acting on bar AB? Is it guidance or assessment?Source: Hibbeler (2004, p. 588). HIBBELER, R. C. Resistance of Materials. 5. ed. Rio de Janeiro: Technical and Scientific Books Publisher, 2004. Question 1 options: a) A compression force of 100 kN acts on bar AB. B) A tensile effort of 100 kN acts on bar AB. c) A compressive force of 141.42 kN acts on bar AB. d) A compression force of 200 kN acts on bar AB. e) A tensile effort of 141.42 kN acts on bar AB.
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.
