- The lintel of prestressed reinforced concrete in the figure below is 1.50 m long. The concrete encloses one steel reinforcing rod with cross-sectional area 1.70 cm2. The rod joins two strong end plates. The cross-sectional area of the concrete perpendicular to the rod is 52.5 cm2. Young's modulus for the concrete is 3.00 x 1010 N/m2. After the concrete cures and the original tension T1 in the rod is released, the concrete is to be under compressive stress 8.30 x 106 N/m2. (a) By what distance will the rod compress the concrete when the original tension in the rod is released?(b) What is the new tension T2 in the rod?(c) The rod will then be how much longer than its unstressed length?(d) When the concrete was poured, the rod should have been stretched by what extension distance from its unstressed length?(e) Find the required original tension T1 in the rod.

- Modelled after problem 5 in the Problems_Torque_Statics: A 12.83-m-high and 19.48-m-long wall under construction and its bracing are shown in the figure. The wall is in stable equilibrium without the bracing but can pivot at its base. Calculate the force exerted by each of the 10 braces if a strong wind exerts a horizontal force of 871.28 N on each square meter of the wall. Assume that the net force from the wind acts at a height halfway up the wall and that all braces exert equal forces parallel to their lengths. Neglect the thickness of the wall. The angle between the braces and the wall is as shown in the figure as 35 degrees.arrow_forwardA person’s weight is 438 N is standing on a level floor and have a center of gravity that is 1.28 m above the floor.

The tightrope walker creates a tension of 3.42 ✕ 103 N in a wire making an angle 6.2° below the horizontal with each supporting pole. Calculate how much this tension stretches the steel wire (in cm) if it was originally 16 m long and 0.50 cm in diameter. This question keeps getting rejected as incomplete. This is not incomplete. There is no image to accompany it. This is the entire question. PLEASE stop rejecting it. It is getting incredibly frustrating.arrow_forwardThe lintel of prestressed reinforced concrete in the figure below is 1.50 m long.
