The weight in the figure below hangs from a long board of negligible weight. Find the tension T in the horizontal rope and the horizontal and vertical components of force exerted on the board at P.Find the tension T in the horizontal rope. The lengths are l1 = 1.80 m and l2 = 0.500 m, and the weight is w = 535 N.Find the horizontal and vertical components of force exerted on the board at P.

EB and FG are two planes inside a soil element ABCD as shown in Figure 10.50. Stress conditions on the two planes are Plane EB: EB = 25 kN/m2; EB = +10 kN/m2 Plane FG: FG = 10 kN/m2; FG = 5 kN/m2 (Note: Mohrs circle sign conventions for stresses are used above) Given ; = 25, determine: a. The maximum and minimum principal stresses b. The angle between the planes EB and FG c. The external stresses on planes AB and BC that would cause the above internal stresses on planes EB and FG

The cross section of a braced cut supporting a sheet pile installation in a clay soil is shown in Figure 14.22. Given: H = 12 m, clay = 17.9 kN/m3, = 0, c = 75 kN/m2, and the center-to-center spacing of struts in plan view, s = 3 m. a. Using Pecks empirical pressure diagrams, draw the earth-pressure envelope. b. Determine the strut loads at levels A, B, and C.
