(a) The shear force and bending moment distributions vary with the position a of the hoist trolley. Using shear force and bending moment diagrams, determine expressions for the maximum shear force Vmax and bending moment Mmax as functions of a for 0 < a < 25 ft. (b) Determine the values of a that maximize Vmax and Mmax, and determine these maximum values. (c) Select the lightest permissible wide-flange beam to support the hoist, if the al- lowable flexural stress is 24 ksi and the allowable shearing stress is 14.5 ksi. -50 ft 100 kip

Question
. A Gantry crane is a crane that lifts objects by a hoist, which is fitted in a hoist trolley
than can move horizontally on a beam. In the example shown below, the capacity of
the hoist is 100 kip and the beam is simply supported with a span of 50 ft.
(a) The shear force and bending moment distributions vary with the position a of
the hoist trolley. Using shear force and bending moment diagrams, determine
expressions for the maximum shear force Vmax and bending moment Mmax as
functions of a for 0 < a < 25 ft.
(b) Determine the values of a that maximize Vmax and Mmax, and determine these
maximum values.
(c) Select the lightest permissible wide-flange beam to support the hoist, if the al-
lowable flexural stress is 24 ksi and the allowable shearing stress is 14.5 ksi.
