Engineering Science N4 STATICS FEBRUARY 2022

Centroid calculation is incorrect. You must define which axis you are taking area moment from. Then use parallel axis theorem to add local moments and global moment for each shape. Then divide by the calculated total area.

Thanks for the info, more light

[@abigailavha]

Do we not consider the UDL when calculating the bending moments?

[@mathszoneafricanmotives]

Yes it's part of it

You are the GOAT 🐐❤ -RSA college tutor -Distinction loading 🌟

[@mathszoneafricanmotives]

Appreciate that, more light

When taking moments about 'c', isn't the force 165KN and 45KN moving in a clockwise direction?

[@mathszoneafricanmotives]

Will check it

[@mathszoneafricanmotives]

It's anticlockwise

[@nkgadimolomo35]

No it's clockwise

[@Aaliya-un4ly]

Can u please do the statics and hydraulics sections

[@mathszoneafricanmotives]

Will add some questions

[@nqabamade5343]

The last answer is wrong,it’s suppose to be y=22,014mm not “y=20,014” by the centroids

[@mathszoneafricanmotives]

Thanks for correction

[@nokuphiwabuthelezi9550]

How do you determine clockwise and anticlockwise direction?
