The diagram is very unclear. I'm not sure what the various distances refer to, or where the A and B points are in space. Is there a verbal description that goes with it?goldfish9776 said:
actually I'm asked to find tension in CD, AD , and BD. I've found Cd only . I have no idea at all for AD and BDpaisiello2 said:
the book stated ' determine the load in each member of the frame shown in Figure .'haruspex said:
Well, I cannot interpret the diagram. If it is clear to you, please explain your interpretation ( provide co-ordinates for each of the points).goldfish9776 said:
Tension in a system refers to the pulling force exerted by an object or force on another object or force.
Tension is typically measured in units of force, such as newtons (N) or kilonewtons (kN). In the given example, the tension is measured in 4.22 kN or 4,220 N.
The factors that affect tension in a system include the magnitude and direction of the force, the properties of the objects or materials involved, and any external or internal forces acting on the system.
Understanding tension is important in various fields of science and engineering, such as mechanics, structural analysis, and material science. It allows us to analyze and predict the behavior of objects and systems under different forces and conditions.
Tension is used in various practical applications, such as in bridges, buildings, and machines. It is also important in fields like sports and medicine, where understanding and managing tension can improve performance and prevent injuries.
