Transcribed Image Text:Continuing our water tower design, it is now necessary to design the truss that will hold our previously calculated water volume. (Note that the volume you use in this problem may not be the same as the one you calculated in the last homework.
The volume of water stored in your tank is 4 m. Using this value, calculate the force of the water that will be acting on the truss system.
The force of the water acting on the system is:
Newton
Since a water tower has four equally-spaced vertical supports, we can make the assumption that the force acting on each support is 1/4 the total force. Based on this assumption how much force is acting on each vertical support?
F1 =
Newtons
F2 is a potential horizontal load acting on the system either by wind, unbalanced water, etc. It is given as 150 N. The Height (H) of the support is given as 75 m. The Width (W) is given as 37.5 m
For the truss loaded as shown, determine all reactions and member forces in Newtons. NOTE: The truss is twice as tall as it is wide. This will help in resolving your diagonal forces.(Assume that the +x-axis is to the right and the +y-axis is up along the page. Due to the nature of this problem, do
not use rounded intermediate values in your calculations-including answers submitted in WebAssign.)
