Acantilever of length 0.5 m and square cross-section of sides 50 mm is subjected to a downward-acting alternating end load. the static tensileield s for completely reversed stress of the material are(300 ? if the mean stress ? m-30 mpa, using the soderberg-equation. and f a. an determine the maximum and minimum values of the end load. also show stress-time variation curve (sinusoidal).

Afoot bridge is made as a simple deck, 4 m long, with a cross section 2 m (wide) and 20 cm thick, and made of wood. the deck is supported at the two ends. the maximum load allowable on the bridge is 10 tons, provided it is uniformly distributed on the deck. to sense this load, a strain gauge is placed at the center of the bridge and its resistance is monitored. if the sensor has a nominal resistance of 350 s2 and a gauge factor of 3.6, what is the reading of the strain gauge at maximum load? the modulus of elasticity for the wood used in the construction is 10 gpa.
