Name: ______________________________ Problem 4 Determine the maximum height h from which the diver can jump onto the board so that maximum being stress in the wood does not exceed 6 ksi. The board thickness is 1.5 inch and its width is 18 inches. Use E wood = 1.8 * 106 psi . Assume the diver weighs 180 lbs.

Solution: Using the energy principle, the equivalent load is defined as:
0.5P = mg (h + )

We now must determine the relationship between the deflection and load. The reactions forces are at the left and right are:
R1 = 8P / 3 R2 = 11P / 3

The moment diagram can be computed as follows.

M 1 ( x ) = 8Px / 3;0 < x < 3 M 2 ( x ) = P(11 x ) / 3;3 < x < 11

Observe that the moments go to zero at the two ends, and are equal to -8P at x = 3. Consider the first differential equation:
EI d 2 y1 = M1 ( x ) = 8Px / 3 dx 2

i.e.,
EIy1 = 8Px 3 / 18 + C1 x + C2

The boundary conditions are:

y1 (0) = 0 y1 (3) = 0

Thus: C1 = 8P / 2, C2 = 0 , leading to:

EIy1 = 8Px 3 / 18 + 8Px / 2

For the second part of the beam

EI d 2 y2 = P(11 x ) / 3 dx 2 EIy2 = P(11x 2 / 2 x 3 / 6) / 3 + C3 x + C4

To find the constants we have:

Solution: From the average shear stress, the total force exerted on the bolt is:
2 Fbolt = 2 bolt Abolt = 2(45 *106 ) dbolt /4 2 Fbolt = (45 *106 ) d bolt /2

This is the same force on the rod, which implies that the stress in the rod is
rod =
2 (45 *106 ) d bolt /2 = 57.6 MPa 2 d rod / 4

The strain is
rod =
57.6 = 2.88 *10 4 200,000

The drop in temperature is
