Question: Problem 6 . 1 3 ( Rotating wheel ) : Consider a wheel rotating at constant angular velocity . The hub and rim are assumed

Problem 6.13(Rotating wheel):
Consider a wheel rotating at constant angular velocity . The hub and rim are assumed to be rigid (non-deformable). The spokes are cylinders each of cross-section S, made up of an elastic material Young's modulus E, mass density ). The spokes are assumed to work exclusively in tension or compression. There are n such spokes, regularly spaced, Figure 6.13. Determine the normal force N in each spoke.
**PLEASE READ** : The normal force in each of the bars comes from the reaction from the inner wheel, the outer wheel, and the distributed load because of the rotation. So, when you cut a bar thus creating normal and shear (=0) forces as well as a moment (=0), you will have, as usual, the choice to consider the right side or the left side of the cut. You should provide the normal force at x=a as well as at x=b and plot the evolution of N.
