A walkway suspended across a hotel lobby is supported at numerous points along its edges by a vertical cable above each point and a vertical column underneath. The steel cable is 1.27 cm in diameter and is 5.45 m long before loading. The aluminum column is a hollow cylinder with an inside diameter of 16.14 cm, an outside diameter of 16.24 cm, and unloaded length of 3.25 m. When the walkway exerts a load force of 8,400 N on one of the support points, how much does the point move down? mm

wire has a cross sectional area ‘A’, length ‘L’ and young’s modulus ‘Y’. It is pulled by a force ‘F’ which causes a total extension of length ‘l’. The force F is so adjusted that the wire is only slowly stretched. Find the work done by the force in pulling the string by a length ‘dx’ when extension is x (0 > x > l). a) ½*stress*strain*volume b) (AY/L)xdx c) F*l d) ½*stress * strain
A 2×12 board of airdried Southern Yellow Pine (~12% moisture) is about 2.18 kg per linear foot. A physicist and his wife carry a 16-foot length of Southern Yellow Pine lumber, the physicist gallantly carries the board from one end while his wife carries the board 4 feet from the other end. How much weight is each spouse carrying? This is an equilibrium problem. Assume the board is perfectly uniform.

Many caterpillars construct cocoons from silk, one of the strongest naturally occurring materials known. Each thread is typically 2.0 µm in diameter, and the silk has a Young's modulus of 4.0 x 10° N/m2. Assuming that there is no appreciable space between the parallel strands, how many strands N would be needed to N = strands make a rope 8.6 m long that would stretch only 1.02 cm when supporting a pair of 85-kg mountain climbers? Again assuming that there is no appreciable space between the parallel strands, what would be the diameter d of the rope? d = cm
Four wires of the same material are stretched by the same load. Which one of them will elongate the most, if their dimensions are as follows ? (a) 1= 50 cm, r = 0.5 mm (b) 1= 100 cm, r =1 mm (c) 1= 200 cm, r= 2 mm (d) 1 = 300 cm, r = 3 mm
Two wires are made of the same material, their Young’s Modulus constant is 10 x10^10 Pa. Wire X is 5 times as long and has half the diameter of wire Y. If they are to be compressed by the same amount, the needed force on Y must be
After an unfortunate accident occurred at a local warehouse, you were contracted to determine the cause. A jib crane collapsed and injured a worker. An image of this type of crane is shown in the figure.The horizontal steel beam had a mass of 88.50 kg per meter of length, and the tension in the cable was T = 12560 N. The crane was rated for a maximum load of P 500 kg. If d = 5.000 m, s = 0.558 m, x = 1.050 m, and h = 1.980 m, what was the magnitude of W1 (the load on the crane) before the collapse? The acceleration due to gravity is g = 9.810 m/s². 444.23 Wi = N Incorrect What was the magnitude of force Fp at the attachment point P? Fp = N
Between each pair of vertebrae in the spinal column is a cylindrical disc of cartilage. Suppose that such a particular disc of cartilage has a a radius of 3.118 cm (100cm = 1 meter) and a thickness of 6.877 mm (1000mm= 1meter). The shear modulus of cartilage is 1.2 × 107 N/m2. Suppose that a shearing force of magnitude 9 N is applied parallel to the top surface of the disc while the bottom surface remains fixed in place. How far does the top surface move relative to the bottom surface in microns (1 meter = 106 microns)?

The total cross-sectional area of the load-bearing calcified portion of the two forearm bones (radius and ulna) is approximately 2.3 cm2. During a car crash, the forearm is slammed against the dashboard. The arm comes to rest from an initial speed of 80 km/h in 5.1 ms. If the arm has an effective mass of 3.0 kg, what is the compressional stress that the arm withstands during the crash? Pa
The illustrated belt is made of rubber (E= = 4 MPa) and has a thickness of 4 mm. It passes through a pulley whose diameter is 20 cm. The belt is subjected to a tension of 50 N. What must be the minimum width, L, so that the stress does not exceed 200 kPa? Answer: 10.3 cm
