MC1) In the figure below, about what axis does F = 50 lbs create a moment?

(Note: F is applied
in the x direction)
a) X-axis
b) Y- axis
c) Z- axis
d) X and Y axes
e) Y and Z axes
f) X and Z axes

MC2) Based on the image above if point A is located 2 ft above the ground in the cross section
of the post, does the 400 lb force create a tensile or compressive bending stress at A?
a) Compression
b) Tension
P1) A steel pipe with an outside diameter of 95 mm and an inside diameter of 85 mm supports
the loadings shown in Figure PP15.4–6 (below). Determine the normal and shear stresses on
the top surface of the pipe at point H.
P2) A short post supports a load P = 70 kN as shown. Determine the normal stresses at corners
a, b, c, and d of the post.
MC3) Which stress element accurately represents the shear at point C in the image below?

T

C

a)

b)
P3) Consider a point in a structural member that is subjected to plane stress. Normal and shear
stresses acting on horizontal and vertical planes at the point are shown.
a. Draw Mohr’s circle for this state of stress.
b. Determine the principal stresses and the maximum in-plane shear stress acting at the point.
c. Show these stresses on an appropriate sketch (Wedge Element).
d. Determine whether this member fails based on the maximum-shear-stress failure criteria if it
is made from A36 Steel with a yield stress of 250 MPa.
e. If the member were instead made from a brittle glass with an ultimate tensile strength of 20
MPa, and an ultimate compressive strength of 120 MPa, would the member fail?
