1) For the tension spring tested in class, compute spring constant k and tensile load Fy...
2. A helical compression spring is made from No. 8 steel wire and is to carry a 100 lb static load at a deflection of 1 inch. The outside coil diameter of the spring is 0.972 inches. The spring ends are squared. Assume the torsional yield strength of the wire is 80000 psi, and the shear modulus is 11.4 Mpsi, determine (a) The static load corresponding to the yield strength. (b) The deflection that would be caused by the load...
A 3 m rigid bar AB is supported with a vertical translational spring at A and a pin at B The bar is subjected to a linearly varying distributed load with maximum intensity g Calculate the vertical deformation of the spring if the spring constant is 700 kN/m. (ans: 21.43 mm) 2. A steel cable with a nominal diameter of 25 mm is used in a construction yard to lift a bridge section weighing 38 kN. The cable has an...

CIVE 203- Homework2 Spring 2019 Problem 1. [40 pts] A 30-ft beam supported at both ends is shown in the figure below. Load Wi 200 lb, or W2 - 500 lb, or both may be applied at points B and C. The moment at the beam midpoint A. MA, will depend on the magnitude of the loads at B and C. 10ft 10ft B a) Determine the sample space of MA b) Assume the...
