1. For the element of Figure 8–3 (shown again as Figure
P8–3) subjected to the uniform pressure shown acting over the vertical side,
determine the nodal force replacement system using Eq. (6.3.7). Assume an
element thickness of t.
2. For the element of Figure 8–3 (shown as Figure P8–4)
subjected to the linearly varying line load shown acting over the vertical
side, determine the nodal force replacement system using Eq. (6.3.7). Compare
this result to that of Problem 6.11. Are these results expected? Explain.
