A construction worker is goofing around on site and is standing on a wood beam at its center. The worker is shaking up and down as he does his job but eventually the beam fails. The site engineer is called over to analyze the dynamic system to determine why the wood beam has failed. As part of her analysis, she first decides to determine the stiffness of the beam. Determine the equivalent stiffness, k, for the massless beam system shown below (the beam is indeterminate so use compatibility and linearity of the system to solve). Leave your answer in terms of E, I and L. Your degree of freedom is the displacement of the beam in the down direction at the point indicated: -1/2- -1/2- Actual Wood Beam Setup (Worker represents F) El F Equivalent Spring

As shown in the figure below, a uniform bar with mass m moves freely along a vertical tube at one end, suspended from a spring, and moving along a horizontal tube. At this time, find the equilibrium state, and find the stability of each. (When the spring constant is k and x=0, the spring is not deformed.)
Statics Problem !!! Help me !!!! Answer it this Problem Correctly!! Please give correct Solution
In this system, there are two mass elements: m₁ and m₂. They are con- nected by a spring. m₁ is also connected to a massless rod, which can rotate at its midpoint. The other end of this massless rod is connected to another massless rod, which is connected to the ground through a spring and a damper. This configuration forms the basis of the system. You may assume small deflections for this problem and that the vertical connections are rigid links. When the coordinates y₁, y2, y are equal to zero, the gravi- tational force on the masses is covered by springs (the system is at its static deflection). Two input forces, fi and f2, are applied on the masses m₁ and m2 respectively. HINT: You should not consider the gravity force in your solution. Your tasks: A Short Answer: Which elements (refer to them by their corresponding constants) can store or possess energy in this system? B Draw the FBD for each mass (one for each of m₁ and m₂. H C Derive the equations of motion for the masses with…

Learning Goal: To determine an I-beam's maximum bending moment, moment of inertia using the parallel-axis theorem, and the maximum stress at a given location using the flexure formula. As shown, I-beam ABC supports a sign that weighs S = 30 lb . The I-beam is 24 in. long and is further supported by a rod that is attached 18 in. from the wall. Assume that all forces acting on the I-beam act along its centroid and that the I-beam's weight is negligible. Let the dimensions of the I-beam be w = 4 in., g = 0.8 in., h = 2.9 in., j = 1 in., c = 6 in. c A ·a b B Part A - Free-body diagram of beam ABC S C H j- W h Before the problem can be analyzed, a free-body diagram must be drawn to understand the forces and reactions that act on the I-beam. Draw the free-body diagram of beam ABC. A free-body diagram includes the forces acting on the object, in this case the beam. Start your vectors at the black dots. You will not be graded on vector length. Ignore all reaction forces in the x direction, and…
1. A weight of 8 lbf is attached to the end of a vertical spring which stretches 4 inches before reaching equilibrium. If the weight is pulled down 6 inches below equilibrium point and given an initial upward velocity of 8 ft/sec, find the equation of motion. Note: In solving for the spring constant k, make sure it ends up as a positive number.

7. A spring is attached to the floor. When a 125 g mass is placed on top of the spring it compresses by 0.26 m. What is the spring constant of this spring?
A long, thin, wire of uniform cross-section has Young's Modulus Y and mass density D. When laid horizontally on a bench its unstretched length is L. One end is attached to a fixed point and the rest of the wire is allowed to hang freely and vertically in the earth's gravitational field. Find the extension of the lowest end of the wire (i.e., the wire's length additional to L) due to gravitational force. The acceleration due to gravity is g.
