Q3) A Cantilever beam shown in figure Q3 is used to support a load acting on a balcony. The deflection of the centerline of the beam is given by the following equation:- -wx? y = 24EI -(x² – 4Lx + 6L? ) Where y = deflection at a given x location (m). w = distributed load. E = modulus of elasticity (N/m²) I = second moment of area (m*) x = Distance from the support as shown (m) L = length of the beam (m) Figure Q3 What is the appropriate unit for w, if the preceding equation is to be homogenous in units? Show all steps of your work.

A farmer making grape juice fills a glass bottle to the brim and caps it tightly. The juice expands more than the glass when it warms up, in such a way that the volume increases by 0.2% (that is, V/V0=2103 ) relative to the space available. Calculate the magnitude of the normal force exerted by the juice per square centimeter if its bulk modulus is 1.8109 N/m2, assuming the bottle does not break. In view of your answer, do you think the bottle will survive?

When using a pencil eraser, you exert a vertical force of 6.00N at a distance of 2.00cm from the hardwood-eraser joint. The pencil is 6.00mm in diameter and is held at an angle of 20.0 to the horizontal. (a) By how much does the wood flex perpendicular to its length? (b) How much is it compressed lengthwise?
A 15.0-m uniform ladder weighing 500 N rests against a frictionless wall. The ladder makes a 60.0 angle with the horizontal. (a) Kind the horizontal and vertical forces the ground exerts on the base of the ladder when an 800-N firefighter has climbed 4.00 m along the ladder from the bottom. (b) If the ladder is just on the verge of slipping when the firefighter is 9.00 m from the bottom, what is the coefficient of static friction between ladder and ground?
A girl has a large, docile dog she wishes to weigh on a small bathroom scale. She reasons that she can determine her dogs weight with the following method. First she puts the dogs two front feet on the scale and records the scale reading. Then she places only the dog's two back feet on the scale and records the reading. She thinks that the sum of the readings will he the dogs weight. Is she correct? Explain your answer.
When visiting some countries, you may see a person balancing a load on the head. Explain why the center of mass of the load needs to be directly above the person's neck vertebrae.
In order to get his car out of the mud, a man ties one end of a rope to the front bumper and the other end to a tee 15 m away as shown below. He then pulls on the center of the rope with a force of 400 N, which causes its center to be displaced 0.30 m, as shown. What is the force of the rope on the car?
Suppose a horse leans against a wall as in Figure 9.31. Calculate the force exerted on the wall assuming that force is horizontal while using the data in the schematic representation of the situation. Note that the force exerted on the wall is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force exerted on the horse, keeping it in equilibrium. The total mass of the horse and rider is 500 kg. Take the data to be accurate to three digits.
The coefficient of static friction between the rubber eraser of the pencil and the tabletop is s=0.80 . If the force F is applied along the axis of the pencil, as shown below, what is the minimum angle at which the pencil can stand without slipping? Ignore the weight of the pencil.
The pole in Figure 5.24 is at a 90.0° bend in a power line and is therefore subjected to more shear force than poles in straight parts of the line. The tension in each line is 4.00104 N, at the angles shown. The pole is 15.0 m tall, has an 18.0 cm diameter, and can be considered to have half the stiffness of hardwood. (a) Calculate the compression of the pole. (b) Find how much it bends and in what direction. (c) Find the tension in a guy wire used to keep the pole straight if it is attached to the top of the pole at an angle of 30.0° with the vertical. (Clearly, the guy wire must be in the opposite direction of the bend.)
A vertebrae is subjected to a shearing force of 500.0N . Find the shear deformation, taking the vertebrae to be a cylinder 3.00cm high and 4.00cm in diameter. How does your result compare with the result obtained in the preceding problem? Are spinal problems more comman in disks than in vertebrae?
Bruce Lee was famous for breaking concrete blocks with a single karate chop. From slow-motion video, the speed of his 1.50-kg hand descending on a block was estimated to be 15.0 m/s, which decreased to a speed of 0.500 m/s in the 2.50 103 s during which his hand made contact with and broke through the block. The maximum shear stress a concrete block can be subjected to before breaking is 9.50 105 N/m2. a. What was the force exerted by Lees hand on the block? b. If a typical concrete block broken by Lee was 3.00 cm thick and 15.2 cm wide, what is the shear stress experienced by the concrete block? c. Will the concrete block succumb to Lees karate chop?
