Assuming the structure does
not deform out-of-plane, and that none of the members buckle, find
the force and stress that each member named in the table below
carries and the change in length of each of those members if they
are composed of structural steel.
a | b | c | d | h | F1F1 | θθ | F2F2 | ϕϕ |
1.9 m | 3.4 m | 2.4 m | 5.2 m | 9.5 m | 6 kN | 54 deg | 6.7 kN | 23 deg |
Members:
(Denote tension forces, tensile stresses, and elongations with
positive values; compressive forces, compressive stresses and
compactions with negative values.)
