I need help answering a question and CAD drawings of its Free Body Diagrams and dimension of the Floating Table ( I just got my floating table on the internet, feel free to change the floating table design/dimension if it is easier for you)


This is the Assignment Description: Assignment Statement Your assignment is to use the principles of statics learned in this course to analyze the internal forces found in members of a floating table. A floating table is a type of table where the table-top is connected to the base of the table using cords, cables, chains, or some other form of tension-only member, i.e., members capable of only supporting tension. This is in contrast to more traditional tables where legs (in compression) are used to support the table-top. You may either design the table yourself or find a design on the internet. Deliverables: Typed report with the following information: • Description of the table (e.g., is it a dinner table, coffee table, lamp table? What is the top’s shape? What materials are used? How are connections made?). • Dimensioned drawing of the table. • A brief description as to why you picked the particular table that you picked. • Determine the internal forces in each member of the table when a 50 lb concentrated load is placed anywhere on the table-top. Be sure to state all assumptions used. Peer Evaluations You will be randomly assigned two (2) peer evaluations. A rubric will be provided to assist with evaluation. Scoring Criterion Weight Analysis 70% Quality of writing 20% Peer evaluations 10% Project FAQ Do I need to calculate internal forces on the tabletop? No. Some of the members have constant values for internal forces, do I need to have shear and moment diagrams for these members? No, you only need diagrams for internal forces that are varying. Does the analysis need to be typed? Yes. Can I do the drawings by hand? Yes, but you will lose more points than if you attempt the drawing by hand. Do I have to use a general placement for the 50 lb force or can I just look at the worst-case position? You only need to consider the worst-case position of the external load. Do I need to consider tipping of the table? Yes. Floating Table Analysis • Description of the table (e.g., is it a dinner table, coffee table, lamp table? What is the top’s shape? What materials are used? How are connections made?). Floating table made of 3-inch square tube and 1/4 thick tempered glass, welded chains with galvanized finish. It is a coffee table • Dimensioned drawing of the table. Height: 31.5 inches Width: 42 inches Depth: 30 inches • A brief description as to why you picked the table that you picked. I picked the table because it is aesthetically pleasing to look at and it is something that I can see buying • Determine the internal forces in each member of the table when a 50 lb concentrated load is placed anywhere on the table-top. Be sure to state all assumptions used. (??)
