Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

In a cylindrical tube with radius 0.4m and height 2.5m, if traction is 250 N/m², calculate the total force acting on the top and bottom surfaces.

💡 Hint: Remember to calculate the area for both surfaces in the total.

Question 2

Analyze how varying traction caused by external loads could affect the stability of a cylindrical support holding weight. Detail the implications for linear momentum balance.

💡 Hint: Consider the relationship between external forces and internal reactions.
