2–6. The square deforms into the position shown by the dashed lines. Determine the shear strain at each of its corners, A, B, C, and D, relative to the x, y axes. Side D′B′ remains horizontal.
The force P applied at joint D of the square frame causes the frame to sway and form the dashed rhombus. Determine the average normal strain developed in wire AC. Assume the three rods are rigid.
4. Draw a free body diagram of the loading and forces. Solve for the reaction A at the wall support. Check your answer using the summation of forces. 10k A w=2 k/ft 40ft 10ft 5k
