Structural engineer faggot here Let's see how /sci/ does

Fuck this horse shit. Give me some pure math.

LEL

IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO FABRICATE THIS

Do you really think that physicists or mathfags on this site understanding anything in their respective fields?

Mathfags and physicsfags are generally dumb though. Way over specialized without any ingenuity and with zero understanding of the big picture.

Nice meme retard.

This is the purpose of the exercise.

Fuck off, we're not going to do your mechanics of materials homework.

lol, why?

In what application are problems like these even usable

>>8516450
This. At least math is useful

>>8516450
Gee, when would you ever need to know the stress a plate is subjected to. Let's just bolt some shit together and hope it works.

>t. physics or math major

IIRC this is combined stresses and this can be solved with basic algebra.
Don't remember the exact method i used though, the teacher named it after himself (yep lol), worked amazingly well. No statics equations at all, I have it written around there somewhere.

If you work in physics and have no idea what applications this has then I'm so sorry time you wasted on a physics major.

A: sigma0
B: sigma0 /2
C: 0
D: sigma0/4
E: 0

>>8516450
i have to agree, there's software to do all this for you.

3/5 correct
