Chapter 4 Problem 4-100

Question

The distributed loading is applied to the rigid beam, which is supported by the three bars. Each bar has a cross-sectional area of \(0.75 \mathrm{~in}^{2}\) and is made from a material having a stress–strain diagram that can be approximated by the two line segments. Determine the intensity of the distributed loading w that will cause the beam to displace downward 1.5 in.

Solution

Step 1 of 7

Given data:

The cross sectional area of each bar is

The displacement of the beam in the downward direction is

The distance between the bars is

The length of the each bar is
