Bending Stress HW
1. Consider a simple beam bridge, shown below. The mass of the truck (which is 7 m from the right edge of the beam) is \(17,000\mathrm{~kg}\), the mass of the bridge is \(100,000\mathrm{~kg}\), and the length of the bridge is 25 m .
The concrete pillars holding up the beam are 1 m by 1 m , and 4 m in height
a. What is the area moment of inertia of the support?
b. If a force of 70000 N is applied sideways to the top of the support, what is the torque applied to the support (which is held in place at the bottom)?
c. What is the bending stress associated with this force?
d. The maximum bending stress of the concrete is 20 MPa . Is this exceeded here?
