Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

If a cuboid has varying body forces represented by b(x) = 10 - 2x, where x is the length from one end, calculate the total body force acting on it over a length of 5 units.

💡 Hint: Set up the integral properly, then calculate it step by step.

Question 2

Discuss the implications on structural design if a major body force, like wind exerted on a tall building, is not accounted for during modeling. How might it affect the overall stability?

💡 Hint: Think about why strong structures are built to withstand environmental forces.
