The diagram below shows a small equipment shelf in a workshop. There is a distributed load on the shelf from a box of tools and a concentrated load applied at B. The shelf is a cantilever beam that is supported at one end only by being bolted to the wall at A. There is a small crack at C, which is the weakest part of the shelf. Determine the normal force Nc, shear force Vc and bending moment Mc at the crack for the next three

A flying but tress transmit s a load P = 25 kN, acting at an angle of 60º to the horizontal, to the top of a vertical buttress AB (see figure). The vertical buttress has height h = 5.0 m and rectangular cross section of thickness t = 1.5 m and width b = 1.0 m (perpendicular to the plane of the figure). The stone used in the construction weighs y = 26 kN/m3. What is the required weight W of the pedestal and statue above the vertical buttress (that is, above section A) to avoid any tensile stresses in the vertical buttress?
An elevated jogging track is supported at intervals by a wood beam AB (L = 7.5 ft) that is pinned at A and supported by steel rod BC and a steel washer at B. Both the rod (dBC= 3/16 in.) and the washer (dB= 1.0 in.) were designed using a rod tension force of TBC=415 lb. The rod was sized using a factor of safely of 3 against reaching the ultimate stress tru— 60 ksi. An allowable bearing stress sba= 565 psi was used to size the washer at B. A small platform HF is suspended below a section of the elevated track to support some mechanical and electrical equipment. The equipment load is uniform load q = 50 lb/ft and concentrated load WE= 175 lb at mid-span of beam HF. The plan is to drill a hole through beam ABaX £land install the same rod (dBC) and washer) dB) at both D and F to support beam HF. (a) Use s and to check the proposed design for rod DF and washer d,: are they acceptable? (b) Re-check the normal tensile stress in rod BC and bearing stress at 8 if either is inadequate under the additional load from platform HF. Re-design them to meet the original design criteria.

An aluminum box column with a square cross section is fixed at the base and free at the top (sec figure). The outside dimension b of each side is 100 mm and the thickness t of the wall is 8 mm. The resultant of the compressive loads acting on the top of the column is a force P = 50 kN acting at the outer edge of the column at the midpoint of one side. What is the longest permissible length Lmaxof the column if the deflection at the top is not to exceed 30 mm? (Assume E = 73 GPa
