Consider an airplane with a tricycle landing gear stationary on the ground. The weight of the airplane is 5158 lb. Assume the nose wheel strut and the two main gear struts are perpendicular to the ground. The diameter of the nose wheel strut is 1 in; that of each main gear strut is 3 in. The nose wheel strut is located 5.62 ft ahead of the center of gravity of the airplane. The two main gear struts are located 1.12 ft behind the center of gravity. Calculate the compressive stresses in the nose wheel strut and the main gear struts.
