Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 1.42SP
An electronic distance measurement device (EDM) is to be used to lay out a canoe race course on a lake Buoys Band C have been placed The EDM is set up at point A as shown AB is 175.83 m and AC is 287.21 m The angle at A is 42°37’20”.
a. Find the length CB.
b. Keeping the angle at A and the line AB unchanged, find the required length of AC (to 0.01 m) so that BC is 200.00 m.

- The thin-walled open cross section shown is transmitting torque 7. The angle of twist ₁ per unit length of each leg can be determined separately using the equation 01 = 3Ti GLIC 3 where G is the shear modulus, ₁ is the angle of twist per unit length, T is torque, and L is the length of the median line. In this case, i = 1, 2, 3, and T; represents the torque in leg i. Assuming that the angle of twist per unit length for each leg is the same, show that T= Lic³ and Tmaz = G01 Cmax Consider a steel section with Tallow = 12.40 kpsi.
