    Load Psi
AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the total load in psi on each leg or foot of a structure, referencing an attachment for specific data. The calculations involve torque, where the torque magnitude is derived from the applied load and the distance from the axis of rotation. A base plate thickness of 3/4" is noted, leading to a breakdown of the load per support. The final calculation indicates approximately 84.93 psi on each support based on the provided data. The conversation highlights the importance of accurate torque measurement in these calculations.

please see attachment FEET PSI. I am looking for the total load in psi on each leg/foot.
thanks very much

You are required to try it yourself first, and to report on the work you have done so far on the problem.
 
Work I've done

Ray,
Thanks for your reply to my post.

Note: The magnitude of a torque is equal to the magnitude of the applied load multiplied by the distance between the objects axis of rotation and the point where the force is applied.
Thickness of base plate is 3/4".

Therefor: 450 ft/lbs x .0625 ft = 28.125 lbs
28.125 lbs divided by 3 supports = 9.375 lbs per support (3).
9.375 lbs divided by .11039 sq inches per support = 84.93 psi on each support.

I remain,
Roger
 
One problem with your calculation is that torque is measured in units of feet times pounds, or ft-lbs.
 

Thread 'Family of lines that are at a distance of 5 from the origin'

I picked up this problem from the Schaum's series book titled "College Mathematics" by Ayres/Schmidt. It is a solved problem in the book. But what surprised me was that the solution to this problem was given in one line without any explanation. I could, therefore, not understand how the given one-line solution was reached. The one-line solution in the book says: The equation is ##x \cos{\omega} +y \sin{\omega} - 5 = 0##, ##\omega## being the parameter. From my side, the only thing I could...

Thread 'Making the denominator of a certain fraction real'

Essentially I just have this problem that I'm stuck on, on a sheet about complex numbers: Show that, for ##|r|<1,## $$1+r\cos(x)+r^2\cos(2x)+r^3\cos(3x)...=\frac{1-r\cos(x)}{1-2r\cos(x)+r^2}$$ My first thought was to express it as a geometric series, where the real part of the sum of the series would be the series you see above: $$1+re^{ix}+r^2e^{2ix}+r^3e^{3ix}...$$ The sum of this series is just: $$\frac{(re^{ix})^n-1}{re^{ix} - 1}$$ I'm having some trouble trying to figure out what to...
