Chapter 5, Problem 5.9.2P
A simple log bridge in a remote area consists of two parallel logs with planks across them (see figure). The logs arc Douglas fir with an average diameter 300 mm. A truck moves slowly across the bridge, which spans 2.5 m. Assume that the weight of the truck is equally distributed between the two logs.
Because the wheelbase of the truck is greater than 2,5 m, only one set of wheels is on the bridge at a time. Thus, the wheel load on one log is equivalent to a concentrated load W acting at any position along the span. In addition, the weight of one log and the planks it supports is equivalent to a uniform load of 850 N/m acting on the log.
Determine the maxi mum permissible wheel load W based upon (a) an allowable bending stress of 7.0 MPa and (b) an allowable shear stress of 0.75 MPa.

A new art exhibit featuring mobile works is going up in the Holland, MI, area. One piece is shown in the figure. The 155-N uniform beam is pinned to the ground by a pivot. The beam is supported by a cable (attached to the center of the beam) to allow for each of the shoes to hang freely. Each individual shoe has a weight of 9.5-N.
If one shoe is attached two-fifths of the way up the beam and another shoe is attached and three-fifths of the way up the beam, with θc = 16.5° and θb = 33.6° as shown in the figure, what is the tension in the cable, in newtons?
What is the x-component of the force, in newtons, that the pivot exerts on the bottom of the beam? Use the coordinate system specified in the figure.
What is the y-component of the force, in newtons, that the hinge exerts on the bottom of the beam? Use the coordinate system specified in the figure.
A 7.5kg sign is hung off of the end of a 3.7kg metal arm as shown in the figure. (Note that while the arm is made from one material, it is tapered such that the arm’s center of mass is 1.5m from the bottom end.) The arm is allowed to pivot about a bolt that connects the arm to the building. What is the tension in the cable which connects the arm to the building?
