Chapter 10, Problem 10.4.31P
A temporary wood flume serving as a channel for irrigation water is shown in the figure. The vertical boards forming the sides of the flume are sunk in the ground, which provides a fixed support. The top of the flume is held by tic rods that are tightened so that there is no deflection of the boards at that point. Thus, the vertical boards may be modeled as a beam AB, supported and loaded as shown in the last part of the figure.
Assuming that the thickness t of the boards is 1,5 in., the depth d of the water is 40 in., and the height h to the tie rods is 50 in., what is the maximum bending stress

The Straw Hat crew on their journey to Laugh Tale Island found a big treasure box (W). Luffy
wanted to place the treasure box (W) as shown in the figure. A 100-mm x 300 mm rectangular
beam is supported in a horizontal position. At point "A", it is being held by a pin and at "B" by a
cable BD inclined 3 vertical to 4 horizontal. Assume all forces are applied to the beam along its
central axis. Given that Fcparallel to grain = 10.50 MPa, W = 79 kN and E = 13800 MPa. Neglecting
the weight of the beam and cable, determine whether the design is safe.

- The main cables of a suspension bridge (see figure part a) follow a curve that is nearly parabolic because the primary load on the cables is the weight of the bridge deck, which is uniform in intensity along the horizontal. Therefore, represent the central region AOB of one of the main cables (see part b of the figure) as a parabolic cable supported at points A and B and carrying a uniform load of intensity q along the horizontal.
