Figure 3 shows a simply supported beam of length 5 m carries two types of loads: a uniformly distributed load (udl) of 6kN/m over the entire span and a point load of Y kN at a distance 2 m from the left support. Given the section modulus and Young's modulus of the beam is 268×10° mm² and 175 MPa, respectively. [Note: Y value – Use the last non-zero digit in your matric number as the load value. If the number is zero, use the second last digit instead; if the number is 8 or 9, take 0.8 or 0.9, respectively.)

A square wood platform is 8 ft × 8 ft in area and rests on masonry walls (see figure). The deck of the platform is constructed of 2-in. nominal thickness tongue-and-groove planks (actual thickness 1.5 in.; sec Appendix CL) supported on two S-ft long beams. The beams have 4 in. × (i in. nominal dimensions (actual dimensions 3.5 in. × 5.5 in.). The planks arc designed to support a uniformly distributed load n ( lb/ft" i acting over the entire top surface of the platform. I be allowable bending stress for the planks is 2400 psi and the allowable shear stress is 100 psi. W ben analyzing the planks, disregard their weights and assume that their reactions are uniformly distributed over the top surfaces of the supporting beams. (a) Determine the allowable platform load Mr. (lb/ft2) based upon the bending stress in the planks. (b) Determine the allowable platform load if-. (lb/ft-) based upon the shear stress in the planks. (c) Which of the preceding values becomes the allowable load alolow on the platform? Hints: Use care in constructing the loading diagram for the planks, noting especially that the reactions are distributed loads instead of concentrated loads. Also, note that the maximum shear forces occur at the inside faces of the supporting beams.

Beam ACB hangs from two springs, as shown in the figure. The springs have stiffnesses Jt(and k2^ and the beam has flexural rigidity EI.

A cantilever beam model is often used to represent micro-clectrical-mechanical systems (MEMS) (sec figure}. The cantilever beam is made of polysilicon (E = 150 GPa) and is subjected to an electrostatic moment M applied at the end of the cantilever beam. 1 f dimensions arc h — 2 [im, h — 4 ^m, and L = 520 ^mt find expressions for the tip deflection and rotation of the cantilever beam in terms of moment M.

Obtain a formula for the ratio c/maxof the deflection at the midpoint to the maximum deflection for a simple beam supporting a concentrated load P (see figure). From the formula, plot a graph of c/max versus the ratio a/L that defines the position of the load (0.5 < a/L < ) What conclusion do you draw from the graph? (Use the formulas of Example 9-3.)

Copper beam AB has circular cross section with a radius of 0.25 in. and length L = 3 ft. The beam is subjected to a uniformly distributed load w = 3.5 lb/ft. Calculate the required load P at joint B so that the total deflection at joint B is zero. Assume that£ = 16,000 ksi.
A simply supported wooden I-beam with a 12-ft span supports a distributed load of intensity q = 90 lb/ft over its length (see figure part a). The beam is constructed with a web of Douglas-fir plywood and flanges of pine glued to the web, as shown in the figure part b. The plywood is 3/8 in. thick: the flanges are 2 in, × 2 in, (actual size). The modulus of elasticity for the plywood is 1,600,000 psi and for the pine is 1,200,000 psL Calculate the maximum bending stresses in the pine flanges and in the plywood web. What is q, if allowable stresses are 1600 psi in the flanges and 1200 psi in the web?
Continuous cable A DB runs over a small friction less pulley al D to support beam OABC, which is part of an entrance canopy for a building (see figure}. The canopy segment has a weight W = 1700 lb that acts as a concentrated load in the middle of segment AB. (a) What is the maximum permissible value of load P at C if the allowable force in the cable is 4200 lb? (b) If P = 2300 lb, what is the required diameter of pins A, B, and D? Assume that the pins are in double shear and the allowable shear stress in the pins is 10 ksi.
A large precast concrete panel for a warehouse is raised using two sets of cables at two lift lines, as shown in the figure part a. Cable 1 has a length L1 = 22 Ft, cable 2 has a length L2= 10 ft, and the distance along the panel between lift points Band D is d = 14 ft (see figure part b). The total weight of the panel is W = 85 kips. Assuming the cable lift Forces F at each lift line are about equal, use the simplified model of one half of the panel in figure part b to perform your analysis for the lift position shown. Find the required cross-sectional area AC of the cable if its breaking stress is 91 ksi and a factor of safety of 4 with respect to failure is desired.
