This document contains 4 exercises involving calculations of forces, stresses, and strains in structural members: 1. Determine the compressive force in an inclined timber truss member based on the shearing stress in the bottom chord. 2. Calculate the axial strains in rods supporting a rigid steel plate under a load, with and without a clearance in the connections. 3. Find the number of bolts needed to fasten a pressurized cylinder's cover plate based on the cylinder's dimensions, pressure, and bolt stress limit. 4. Determine the pin diameter and maximum load for a rectangular bar with a hole subjected to tension, based on stress limits in the bar and pin.
