Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A structural beam is subjected to a steady static load that weighs 5000 N. If the beam deforms by 0.01 meters, calculate the modulus of elasticity of the beam material if the beam's cross-sectional area is 0.1 m².

💡 Hint: Assess how stress relates circumstantially to the provided values.

Question 2

Consider a tall building designed to withstand static forces but later subjected to dynamic stresses of an earthquake. Describe how the building's static design might fail during dynamic loading and propose a modification to improve resilience.

💡 Hint: Consider modifications that accommodate both static and dynamic influences on the building.
