Problem 653
Compute the midspan value of EIδ for the beam shown in Fig. P-653. (Hint: Draw the M diagram by parts, starting from midspan toward the ends. Also take advantage of symmetry.
 

Problem 01
A projectile is fired up the inclined plane at an initial velocity of 15 m/s. The plane is making an angle of 30° from the horizontal. If the projectile was fired at 30° from the incline, compute the maximum height z measured perpendicular to the incline that is reached by the projectile. Neglect air resistance.
 

Properties of Conjugate Beam

Engr. Christian Otto Mohr

1. The length of a conjugate beam is always equal to the length of the actual beam.
2. The load on the conjugate beam is the M/EI diagram of the loads on the actual beam.

Engr. Alberto Castigliano

Italian engineer Alberto Castigliano (1847 – 1884) developed a method of determining deflection of structures by strain energy method. His Theorem of the Derivatives of Internal Work of Deformation extended its application to the calculation of relative rotations and displacements between points in the structure and to the study of beams in flexure.
 

Problem 1012
A train moving with constant acceleration travels 24 ft (7.32 m) during the 10^th second of its motion and 18 ft (5.49 m) during the 12^th second of its motion. Find its initial velocity and its constant acceleration.
 

Problem 10
In a triangle ABC, if   $\dfrac{2 \cos A}{a} + \dfrac{\cos B}{b} + \dfrac{2 \cos C}{c} = \dfrac{a}{bc} + \dfrac{b}{ca}$,   find the value of angle $A$.
