EQUILIBRIUM OF DEFORMABLE BODIES

Practice Problems

1. Engr. Jan Rey Cabutotan will be designing a beam with loadings as shown.
What are the resultant internal loadings (KN for normal and shear, KN-m for
moment) on the cross section through point (code E). Assume the reactions at
the supports A and B exerts vertical reactions only.

2. Engr. Ron Jake Uy suspends a water bucket A (code F) lb from a cable on the
wooden frame. Determine the resultant internal loadings (lb for normal and
shear, lb-ft for moment) on the cross section at point (code G).

3. Engr. Dianne Fernandez runs the property of a beam with the following
properties in a design application in order for her to see if the beam is strong
enough to carry the load. What are the resultant internal loadings (kips for
normal and shear, kip-ft for moment) acting on the cross section through point
(code K) that will be used by Engr. Fernandez in the design? Assume the
reactions at the supports A and B exerts vertical reactions only.

4. Engr. Reynald Lucero purchases a metal stud that will be used to punch holes
on metal and steel studs for cable management. The metal stud punch is
subjected to a force of (code L) N on the handle .What is the magnitude (KN)
of the reactive force at the pin A and in the short link BC? Also, what are the
internal resultant loadings (N for normal and shear, N-m for moment) acting
on the cross section passing through the handle arm at (code O)?

5. What are the resultant internal loadings acting on the cross section of the
semicircular arch constructed by Engr. Leonora Quarte at C? Express your
answers in terms of w0 and r.
