Please help me finding the max slope and deflection im stuck on this problem for two weeks.
I can't get anywhere with the boundry and continutiy conditions
The problem and what I've d one:
This really confused how is it that when Cosα is minimum P is maximum? shouldn't it be the oppose?
Problem statement (IGNORE):
[FONT=times new roman]The piston in an engine is attached to a
connecting rod AB, which in turn is connected to a crank arm
BC (see figure). The piston slides without...
I know and I solved the problem, I just want to see a free body diagram including the distributed load acting on the bar like this
(just how to draw the distributed load and I would appreciate a picture)
I'm having problem in drawing the distributed load (weight per foot) for the inclined beam as it shows.
should it be rectangular? if so shouldn't the distributed load be vertical down as the resultant weight at the centroid (W)
please help me understand how to draw the free body diagram for this...
