Cage System Structural Analysis Questions – Description
In the cage system in the figure, supports 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 are fixed, support 6 is free in the horizontal direction. Due to any PX6 load, only a ?X6 horizontal displacement occurs in the 6th support. Since this displacement is known (given in the table);
a) Find the axial force (N5) in bar 5.
b) Find the axial force (N1) in bar 1.
c) Find the support reactions (R5x, R5y) at support 5.
NOTE: Please specify the directions of the calculated support reactions and whether the axial forces are compression or tension.
EA = 10,000 t (fixed)
?X6=12
L=5
H= 6
