The beam shown below is to be simply supported during storage. Sand has been evenly spread over a portion of the beam as a Uniformly Distributed Load (UDL) as shown below from A to C. Another two concentrated loads at points B and D have been applied to fix it in place. Ignoring the mass of the beam, determine the support reactions RA and Rc. 18 KN Assume; g = 10 m/s 19KN UDL = 10 kN/m 0.90 m B 0-3 m I 0.3m [C D Rc RA The beam section is a solid square of side 10cm and density 8times that of water (taking density of water as approx.1000kg/m). If the beam is to be used in an offshore rig construction (being completely submerged in water), calculate the upthrust force. During the rig construction the beam is to be unloaded from a truck using a crane and cable from which the beam will be hanging while fully submerged in water. Calculate the tension on the cable while the beam is fully submerged and partly submerged (half of its length is in the water). In another application the beam has been used to support a housing for a heat engine, where some waste heat is transferred through the beam length (with one end of the beam at the room temperature of 22 and the other end, nearer the heat source, at 78). Calculate the change in length and volume of the beam if the coefficient of linear thermal expansion of steel is a steel = 12 10-6 / deg C. If the beam is to be laid on the ground along its length and pulled along the ground, with the crane cable making an angle of 45 with the horizontal plane, at acceleration of 3m/s while a friction force equal to a third of its weight is acting, construct a free body diagram showing all the forces and the correct directions and determine the force on the cable required to move the beam. Hi could you please let me know how to solve the following question. I need help on basically all parts of the question. Please provide as much details as possible! thank you
