Problem #4(20 pts)
Dr. Nelson likes to flyfish and many times
has crossed wobbly boards laid across
streams. A 1.5 inch by 5.5 inch rectangular
board is laid across a stream (assume the en
are simply supported - that is they resist for
but not moments). Dr. Nelson stands in the
middle of the board's 6 ft span and
jumps off at an angle of 60 degrees
from the horizontal in a plane parallel
to the yz plane. A rough estimate for
the peak take-off force is about 3.5
times the body weight of the person -
so let's assume that the take-off force is
F=900lbs.
(a) Draw the shear, and moment diagrams for the xy and xz planes (note it may help to solve for
reaction forces and to draw a force diagram for the xy and xz planes first)
0
(b) Fill in the terms for finding the maximum tensile bending stress in the plank. You do NOT need
to compute the stress, just fill in the terms with the appropriate values. Careful of your signs.
