Textbook Question
Chapter 5, Problem 5SEP
Write a program for determining the stability of a rectangular block with a given length and height as the width varies. Call for input data for length, height, weight (or specific weight), and fluid specific weight. Vary the width in selected increments from small values to larger values, and compute the range of widths for which the metacentric height is positive, that is, for which the design would be stable. Plot a graph of metacentric height versus width.

4. In the figure, shaft A made of AISI 1010 hot-rolled steel, is welded to a fixed
support and is subjected to loading by equal and opposite Forces F via shaft B.
Stress concentration factors K₁ (1.7) and Kts (1.6) are induced by the 3mm fillet.
Notch sensitivities are q₁=0.9 and qts=1. The length of shaft A from the fixed
support to the connection at shaft B is 1m. The load F cycles from 0.5 to 2kN and
a static load P is 100N. For shaft A, find the factor of safety (for infinite life) using
the modified Goodman fatigue failure criterion.
