Exercise 9.48 When the truss is subjected to the vertical force F, Joint A moves a...
A symmetric truss system is subjected to a concentrated vertical force P at joint B as shown in Figure Q6. By using energy method, determine the horizontal displacement of joint C. EA is assumed as constant for all members, L is the length of member AB. D A С 450 450 B L Figure Q6
Truss ABCD is simply supported at joints A and C. Force F = 100 N and acts downward at joint D. Length AB = BC = 4m and length BD = 3m. Determine the force (N) acting in member BD and its direction. (use +### for tension and -### for compression). D B A С F
6. The mass moves only in the vertical direction. Ignore any rotation of the mass. Assume that the rope wound around the pulley remains in tension at all times. At time t-0, the mass is lifted a small distance from its equilibrium position, and then released C 40 N ki-100 N/m m 15 kg k2-35 N/m m/s 6(a) Find the period 7d for damped, unforced vibrations of this system.

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...
A mass of m kilograams (kg) is mounted on top of a vertical spring. The spring is L metres long when disengaged and the end not attached to the mass is fixced to the ground. The mass moves vertically up and down, acted on by gravity, the restoring force T of the spring and the damping force R due to friction: see the diagram below The gravitational force is mg dowswards, where g- 9.8m is acceleration due to gravity, measured...
