2) (15 pts) A steel beam is supported by a pin at A and a high-strength wire at B. Load P acts on the free end at C. The wire's axial rigidity EA - 300x10' lb, and the beam's flexural...
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...
