A simple log bridge in a remote area consists of 2 parallel logs with planks across them. The log has an average diameter of 300 mm. A truck moves slowly across the bridge, which spans 2.5 m. Assume that the weight of the truck is equally distributed between the 2 legs. Because the wheel base of the truck is greater than 25 m. Only 1 set of the wheels is on the bridge at a time. Thus, the wheel load on one log is equivalent to a concentrated load acting at any position along the span. In addition, the weight of 1 log and the plank it supports in equivalent to a uniform load of 65 kN/m acting on the log.
1. Determine the max permissible wheel load W based upon the allowable bending stress of of 7MPa.
2. Determine the max permissible wheel load W based upon the allowable shear stress of of 0.75MPa.
3. Determine the max permissible wheel load W based upon the allowable deflection of 6mm. E=7380 MPa

- 8. A ladder leans against a wall at an angle 0 with the wall. The top of the ladder is round and smooth so as to not make a mark on the smooth wvall. The feet at the bottom of the ladder do have friction. The ladder is uniform, of length L and weight w, and the painter climbing the ladder has weight 10w. Assume that the distance along the ladder that the painter can achieve before the ladder slips is aL, where a is a number between 0 and 1. A) Show that a = [(1.1µ/Tan(e) - 1/20]. B) In order for the painter to be able to stand at the top of the ladder, show that Tan(e) = 1.05µ. C) Are the answers to A) and B) minimums or maximums. BRIEFLY explain which and why.
