Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A component is subjected to a load creating traction of 50N/cm² on one face. What would be the opposing traction on the face opposite to it?

💡 Hint: Recall the concept of equal and opposite forces.

Question 2

If a beam has varying traction values of 70N/cm² at one section and you affirm the existence of the opposite side's value, what would it indicate?

💡 Hint: Consider how forces interact at the section in question.
