The solution to three engineering problems related to bending moments and shear forces in a beam and a parallel chord truss. The problems involve calculating the moment diagram, moment of inertia, maximum bending stress, maximum shear stress, deflection, number of bolts required for shear, bearing force, minimum weld size, member forces using the method of joints and sections, minimum area required for a member, stress value and type, critical value of fce, and the allowable buckling load. The document also includes diagrams and specifications for the beam and truss.
