Question 1:
Knowing that the magnitude of the horizontal force P is 8 kN, determine the stress at
(a) point A,
(b) point B.
2
Question 2:
A milling operation was used to remove a portion of a solid bar of square cross section. Forces
of magnitude P = 18 kN are applied at the centers of the ends of the bar. Knowing that a = 30
mm and σall = 135 MPa, determine the smallest allowable depth d of the milled portion of the
bar.

Question 3:
Determine the largest permissible distributed load w for the beam shown, knowing that the
allowable normal stress is +80 MPa in tension and -130 MPa in compression.
4
Question 4:
For the beam and loading shown, determine
(a) the slope at end A,
(b) the deflection at point B. Use E = 29 × 106 psi.

Question 5:
Before the load P was applied, a gap, δ0 = 0.5 mm, existed between the cantilever beam AC
and the support at B. Knowing that E = 200 GPa, determine the magnitude of P for which the
deflection at C is 1 mm.
