Question 1

Model a design for a lever that supports varying load factors and describe the interaction of different stress components throughout.

💡 Hint: Consider how loads change and stress distributions with different applied forces.

Question 2

You have a component exhibiting both elastic and plastic behavior. How would you approach the design for safety against failure?

💡 Hint: Compare the elastic range to the plastic range in stress-strain diagrams.
