Yes ok perfect, I just wanted to make sure I was thinking about this correctly!
So the Force being seen by the top of the vertical beam is equal to the acceleration of the base multiplied by the weight of the beam.
So I am trying to understand how to estimate the amount of deflection [D] the vertical beam shown above would experience if the base it is attached to is accelerating at a constant acceleration [a] of 9.81 m/s.
I assume the Force [F] would be equal to weight of the vertical beam (mass x...
Homework Statement
Calculate the magnitude of the force supported by the point at A under the action of the 2.5-kN load applied to the bracket. Neglect friction in the slot.
AB = .17 m
B to force = .16 m
angle between vertical and BtoForce = 24The Attempt at a Solution
I found the x and y...
