Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A cylindrical water tank weighs 50,000 N and is supported by a structure. Calculate the internal shear force required if the tank is half filled, assuming the center of gravity is at half the height.
💡 Hint: Consider how forces distribute across the structure.
Design a small structure to demonstrate the reliability of static loads. Create a sketch showing how static loads will be supported, detailing the load distribution.
💡 Hint: Focus on how the structure holds up under various loads.
