Answer to Question #274727 in Mechanical Engineering for john luvis

Question

For the rectangular element considered in Problem 10.52 and Fig. 10.35, find the element nodal force vector due to

distributed body force given by fx0 ¼ 0 and fy0 ¼ erg where r is the density of the material and g is the acceleration

due to gravity. Assume the value of r as 2800 kg/m3 and g ¼ 981 m/s2

. Perform the needed integration by evaluating

the integrand at the centroid of the element and treating the integrand as a constant throughout the element

Answer 1

Answer with diagrams is given below:

also provide problem-10.52 and fig. 10.35. For element nodal force vector
