Hi,
I'm trying to do some stress analysis on a tank filled with water, I have split the walls into sections and applied the appropriate pressures. However, I'm confused as to whether I apply the weight of the water+pressure at that height difference to the bottom of the plate; or will the...
Thanks for the response guys, so essentially it’s a simple moments question.
@Grinkle sorry I’m not too sure I understand the 1/2nF part, I thought the moment is only relevant if the distance is perpendicular to the force? Or have I misunderstand along the way?
*Sorry I forgot to mention, N...
I've currently solved it like this; however I feel like what I did assumes that the overall forces equals zero or I've overly simplified the problem.

I've input my numbers into it but it comes out as a negative lifting force which means I've probably done it wrong.
Thank you.
This is me trying to design something, I was told by my supervisor at work to just add the mass of the beam on to work it out; unfortunately, I’m not getting anywhere with that hint nor the notes I took at university...
It’s actually been quite a while for me too, I’ve forgot most of what I learned too; how would I actually model as attached to a material with modulus and plastic failure?
All I have right now is the force pushing the beam down and the tensile stress the bolts fail if fixed to concrete. I’m...
Hi, like the title says, how do we actually calculate when a cantilever beam fails in reality? We’ve been taught that these are absolutely fixed to the ground. However, in reality these would probably be bolted onto the ground, so how do we calculate the force trying to lift the fixed beam on...
