A pole is held vertically on a soil surface by three equally spaced wires tied to...
1. A pole is held vertically by attaching wires at a height of 13.4 m above the ground. The other end of each wire is anchored in the ground at a distance of 9.54 m from the base of the pole. The pole makes a right angle with the ground. What is the length of each wire? 2. A bug crawls 2.25 m along the base of a wall. Upon reaching a corner, the bug's direction of travel changes from...
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...
