The smooth pin is supported by two leaves A and B and subjected to a compressive load of 0.4 kN/m caused by bar C. Determine the intensity of the distributed load w_0 of the leaves on the pin. (Figure 1) Express your answer with the appropriate units. This question will be shown after you complete previous question(s).

Solution

Total load on the pin = 0.4* 0.06m long = 0.024kN

Load per leaf= 0.024/2 = 0.012

This load shown on the leaves is tapering distributed load. the area of the triangle is total load. area of the triangle with one side 0.02m = Wox 0.02/2 = 0.012 from this we get Wo = 1.2 kN/m
