Question 2: [20 marks]
A road sign with the layout and dimensions shown below carries a wind load acting in the negative z-direction. The sign is fixed at the left support. The resultant force from the wind load has a magnitude of 50kN acting at the centroid of the 2.55m rectangular sign. The bar supporting the sign has a solid 250250mm square cross-section as shown in the closeup view of the fixed connection. The self-weight of the assembly can be neglected such that they only load is the 50kN force acting as shown. Points A and B are located at the fixed support in the middle of each 250mm side of the bar as shown in the main figure and the closeup of the support at right.
(a) Determine the internal shear force, bending moment, and torque acting in the solid bar at the fixed support due to the wind load. [8 marks]
