    This document discusses a crane boom on a ship that tapers along its length due to its varying moment of inertia. It asks to draw the moment diagram to explain the tapering shape. It also discusses a highway sign that failed due to hurricane winds bending the support pipes at their connections. It asks to estimate the minimum uniform wind pressure that caused the steel pipes to yield, assuming dimensions and that the pipes are A-36 steel. The document appears to be from Ramon Magsaysay Technological University for a project in engineering mechanics on strength of materials and is submitted by Alfric D. Abinsay on May 25, 2016.

    This crane boom on a ship has a moment of inertia that varies along its length.

    Draw the moment


    diagram for the boom to explain why the boom tapers as shown.

    Hurricane winds caused failure of this highway sign by bending the supporting pipes at their
    connections with the column. Assuming the pipes are made of A-36 steel, use reasonable
    dimensions for the sign and pipes, and try and estimates the smallest uniform wind pressure
    acting on the face of the sign that caused the pipes to yield.
