Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Given a rectangular beam with a force of 500 N applied, and a cross-sectional area of 25 cm², calculate the traction at a section oriented perpendicular to the force.
💡 Hint: Remember to convert cm² to m² for accurate calculations.
Question 2
If a structure's traction exceeds the yield strength of the material, explain the failure process and suggest a preventative measure.
💡 Hint: Think about how engineers address structural integrity through material selection.
