Situation
The solid pole shown in the figure is loaded with a vertical load P = 25 kN and lateral load H = 0.95 kN. The pole is 3 m high, 300 mm diameter and weighs 22 kN/m³.
 

Problem
The area of a park on a map is 600 mm². If the scale of the map is 1 to 40,000 determine the true area of the park in hectares (1 hectare = 10⁴ m²).

Situation
The three-hinged arch shown below is loaded with symmetrically placed concentrated loads as shown in the figure below.
 

The loads are as follows:
$$P_1 = 90 ~ \text{kN} \qquad P_2 = 240 ~ \text{kN}$$
 

The dimensions are:
$$H = 8 ~ \text{m} \qquad S = 4 ~ \text{kN}$$
 

Calculate the following:
 

1.   The horizontal reaction at A.

2.   The total reaction at B.

3.   The vertical reaction at C.
