Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
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.
💡 Hint: Recall to integrate the forces across the projected areas accordingly.
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.
💡 Hint: Remember the formula for traction calculation: traction = force/area.
