Question 1
Calculate the traction force on a face of a cuboid measuring 2m x 3m with a stress tensor defined as σ = [5,0;0,3] in Pascal. Assume uniform distribution.
💡 Hint: Break the tensor into components and integrate accordingly.
Question 2
Devise a scenario in structural engineering where miscalculated traction forces could lead to failure. Explain the sequence of events and outcomes.
💡 Hint: Consider how loads are distributed across different structural elements.
