An elastomeric bearing pad consisting of two steel plates bonded to a chloroprene elastomer (an artificial rubber) is subjected to a shear force V during a static loading test (see figure). The pad has dimensions a = 125 mm and b = 240 mm, and the elastomer has a thickness t = 50 mm. When the Force V equals 12 kN, the top plate is found to have displaced laterally S.O mm with respect to the bottom plate. What is the shear modulus of elasticity G of the chloroprene?

A large precast concrete panel for a warehouse is raised using two sets of cables at two lift lines, as shown in the figure part a. Cable 1 has a length L1 = 22 Ft, cable 2 has a length L2= 10 ft, and the distance along the panel between lift points Band D is d = 14 ft (see figure part b). The total weight of the panel is W = 85 kips. Assuming the cable lift Forces F at each lift line are about equal, use the simplified model of one half of the panel in figure part b to perform your analysis for the lift position shown. Find the required cross-sectional area AC of the cable if its breaking stress is 91 ksi and a factor of safety of 4 with respect to failure is desired.

A team of design engineers are designing an amusement park structure as in Figure 2below. The horizontal beam supporting the gondolas at both ends are supported by 2vertical bars, bar EB and bar CF with a cross sectional area of 11,100mm2 and 9,280mm2each. Gondola 1 (left) weighs 380 kN and Gondola 2 (right) weighs 360kN respectively. Due to theweight of both the gondolas, the design team needs to investigate the verticaldisplacements of both ends of the horizontal beam at A and D. You are required to helpthem analyze and calculate the vertical displacement at both ends due to the weight ofthe gondolas.
