1) Wooden posts used for a retaining wall have a diameter of 76.2 mm. If the soil pressure
along a post varies uniformly from zero at the top A to a maximum of at the bottom B,
determine the slope and displacement at the top of the post. Ew = 11031.61 MPa..

2) Determine the maximum deflection of the simply supported beam. E = 200 GPa and
6 4
Moment of Inertia of Cross-section 𝐼 = 65 × 10 𝑚𝑚 .

3) The rod is constructed from two shafts for which the moment of inertia of AB is I and of
BC is 2I. Determine the maximum slope and deflection of the rod due to the loading.The
modulus of elasticity is E.
4) The beam is made of a ceramic material. In order to obtain its modulus of elasticity, it is
subjected to the elastic loading shown. If the moment of inertia is I and the beam has
measured maximum deflection , determine E. The supports at A and D exert only vertical
reactions on the beam.

5) Determine the value of a so that the displacement at C is equal to zero. EI is constant.
