Question 1

What is the primary characteristic of static forces?

  • They vary rapidly over time
  • They are time-invariant
  • They involve significant inertia effects

💡 Hint: Think about how static forces behave in terms of time.

Question 2

True or False: Static structural analysis ignores inertia effects.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: What do we assume when performing static analysis?

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

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.

Question 2

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.
