In two-hinged arch, how many unknown forces exist?

In two-hinged arch, how many unknown forces exist? Correct Answer Four unknowns

Explanation:

Three hinge arch :

  • In the case of a three-hinged arch, we have three hinges, two at the support and one at the crown and there are four reaction components in the three-hinged arch.
  • One more equation is required in addition to three equations of static equilibrium for evaluating the four reaction components.
  • Taking moment about the hinge of all the forces acting on either side of the hinge can set up the required equation, making 3  hinge arch determinate.

Two hinge arch :

  • In the two hinge arch, we have 2 hinges at two support of the arch and have four reaction or unknown components, as in a 3 hinge arch.
  • But here we don't have an additional equation to solve the structure and hence our 2 hinge arch is indeterminate by degree 1.

​Hinge less/ Fixed arch :

  • In the fixed arch, both the support are fixed. So, in a fixed arch six reaction forces ( One moment extra on each support ).
  • But, we have only 3 equilibrium equations. So, the degree of indeterminacy of fixed arch becomes 6 - 3 = 3.

Implanting standards, right values, the science of good and evil are an essential part of education. Many forces thwart this to work, but two of the most serious hindrances to it are examinations and specialization. The examination system is both an opiate and a poison. It is an opiate because it lulls Man into believing that all is well when most is ill. It is a poison because it paralyses or at least slows down the natural activities of the healthy mind. Man finds himself a creature of unknown capacities in an unknown world, wants to learn what the world is like, what he should be and do in it. To help him in answering these questions is the one and only purpose of education. However, tests of progress are useful and necessary. Examinations are harmless when the examinee is indifferent to their result, but as soon as they matter, they begin to distort his attitude to education and to conceal its purpose. For disinterestedness is the essence of all good education and liberal education is impossible without it. The author considers specialization as :
