Question 1.
What is traction?
Show hintHide hint
Think about force and area.
Question 2.
How many independent planes do we need to determine traction on any other plane?
Show hintHide hint
Recall the theorem discussed.
3Question 3.
What is the definition of traction?
- Force per unit mass
- Force per unit area
- Area per unit force
Show hintHide hint
Recall the definition we discussed.
4Question 4.
True or False: Traction remains the same regardless of the plane it is being measured on.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Remember how different planes interact with forces.
Question 5.
A rectangular beam is subjected to a force at one end. Determine the traction on a plane at an angle if you know the traction values on three orthogonal planes.
Show hintHide hint
Recall to integrate the forces across the projected areas accordingly.
Question 6.
Assuming a wood beam has a traction limit of 200 psi. Calculate whether the traction on a certain cross-section during an applied load of 500 lbs exceeds this limit if the area is 2 sq in.
Show hintHide hint
Remember the formula for traction calculation: traction = force/area.
