Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Consider a beam subjected to a uniform load across its span. Derive the equations for traction at various points along the beam's length.
💡 Hint: Focus on integrating forces and how they distribute over the area.
Question 2
A cylindrical rod is subjected to axial loading. Based on the angle of inclination of the force, calculate how traction changes at varying cross-sections.
💡 Hint: Think along the lines of geometry and resulting effective area change!
