Given a cube subjected to a uniform compressive load on its top face, derive the stress tensor and analyze how different coordinate systems affect the interpretation.
💡 Hint: Focus on the uniformity of the loads and the symmetry of the tensor.
Consider a cantilever beam with varying loads applied. Analyze the implications of these varying loads on the momentum balance equations derived for a section of the beam.
💡 Hint: Break down the loads into segments for clarity.
