Question 1
A cuboidal beam of dimensions 2m x 1m x 1m is subjected to a uniform load of 500N across one face. Calculate the traction force acting on that face.
💡 Hint: Use the definition of traction to guide your calculations.
Question 2
Given a cuboid with varying traction calculated as σ(x) = 3x² + 2x + 1, determine the total traction force on a face from x=0 to x=2 using integration.
💡 Hint: Review integration techniques to solve this problem.
