Concept explainers
Whether it would be wise to use materials like concrete and stone to support the cantilever.
Solution.For supportA, it is not convenient to use concrete or stone. While that, for support B is convenient to use concrete or stone.
Explanation of Solution
According to Figure 1, a typical structure that represents a drawbridge is shown, so that the force acting on the supportA is a tension force (
Conclusion:
For supportA, it is not convenient to use concrete or stone. While that, for support B, it is convenient to use concrete or stone.
