The wheel load transferred from trolley to gantry girder is given by
A)w1 = [wt(lc+l1)]/(2lc)
B)w1 = [wt(lc-l1)](2lc)
C)w1 = [wt(lc-l1)]/(2lc)
D)w1 = [wt(lc+l1)]/( lc)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The wheel load transferred from trolley to gantry girder is given by w1 = [wt(lc-l1)]/(2lc). This is because the load is distributed evenly over the two wheels of the trolley, and each wheel carries half of the load. The distance between the wheels is lc, and the distance between the trolley and the gantry girder is l1.
