If i have steal bridge that is 35 meter long, 1,2 meter and 15000kg , how do i calculate the
thickness so that de bridge doesn't deflect?
thickness so that de bridge doesn't deflect?
That would require infinite thickness to achieve no deflection at all. Perhaps you could state your problem less vaguely.Mathijsgri said:If i have steal bridge that is 35 meter long, 1,2 meter and 15000kg , how do i calculate the

Is this question for schoolwork? If so, what is the exact problem statement?Mathijsgri said:If i have steal bridge that is 35 meter long, 1,2 meter and 15000kg , how do i calculate the

I understand that it is not possible to have no deflection. I have to design a gangway(a bridge between a ship and a platform), it has to be 35 meters long and at least 1,2 meters wide. I estimated that will weigh around 15000kg. How do i calculate how much it deflect?phinds said:That would require infinite thickness to achieve no deflection at all.

The formula for calculating thickness is: thickness = volume / area.
The unit of measurement for thickness can vary depending on the type of material being measured. Some common units include millimeters, centimeters, and inches.
To measure the area, you can use a ruler or measuring tape to determine the length and width of the object. For more complex shapes, you may need to use a formula specific to that shape. To measure volume, you can use a graduated cylinder or other measuring tool designed for liquids. For solid objects, you can use the formula: volume = length x width x height.
Thickness calculations are often used for materials such as paper, plastic, metal, and fabric. They are also important for building materials such as wood, concrete, and drywall.
The level of accuracy needed for thickness calculations can vary depending on the application. In some cases, a rough estimate may be sufficient, while in others, precise measurements are necessary. It is important to consider the purpose of the thickness calculation to determine the appropriate level of accuracy.
