Situation 01: For the cable shown in the figure below,
determine the reaction components, the tension at the end, and
the value of hD if hC = 2 m.
Situation 02: For the cable shown in the figure below h D = 20
m. Calculate the tension in each segment of the cable.
Situation 03: A cable carrying 200 N/m along the horizontal is
suspended at two points A and B, A being 20 m lower than B.
The two points are 200 m apart horizontally. If the lowest point
C of the cable is 8 m below the level of A, determine the
tensions at A, B, and C and the length of the cable.
Situation 04: A cable AB shown in the figure below support a
uniformly distributed load of 200 N per linear meter. Determine
the maximum and minimum values of the tension in the cable
and the total length of the cable.
Situation 05: For the truss shown in the figure below,
determine the stresses in the members marked a, b, c and d.
Situation 06: Determine the stresses in the members marked
a, b, c, d, e, and f of the Baltimore truss shown in the figure
below.
Situation 07: Calculate the forces in the legs of the tripod
shown in the figure below.
axis.
Situation 08: For the cantilever beam show in the figure below,
draw the influence lines for (a) shear at C, (b) shear at B. (c)
moment at C, and (d) moment at B.
Situation 09: For the simply-supported beam shown in the
figure below, draw the influence lines for (a) RA, (b) RB, (c) VC,
and (d) MC. Determine the maximum values of these functions
for (l) a moving concentrated load of 10 kN, and (2) a uniformly
distributed moving load of 3 kN/m.
Situation 10: For the beam shown in the figure below, draw the
influence lines for (a) reaction at A, (b) shear just to the right of
A, (c) moment at A, and (d) moment at D. Calculate the
maximum values of these functions due to (l) a concentrated
moving load of 6 kN, and (2) a uniform moving load of 3 kN/m.
Situation 11: For the beam shown in the figure below, draw the
influences lines for (a) reaction at A, (b) shear at D, and (c)
moment at D. Determine the maximum values of these
functions due to (l) a concentrated moving load of 10 kN, and
(2) a uniform live load of 400 N/m.
Situation 12: For the beam shown in the figure below, draw the
influence lines for (a) reaction at A, (b) shear at C, (c) shear just
to the right of A, (d) shear just to the left of B, and (e) moment
at C. Determine the maximum positive and negative values of
these functions due to (l) a concentrated moving load of 8 kN,
and (2) a uniform live load of 12 kN/m.
