Assuming that the bridge segments are free to pivot at each intersection point, what is the tension t in the horizontal segment directly above the point where the object is attached? if you find that the horizontal segment directly above the point where the object is attached is being stretched, indicate this with a positive value for t. if the segment is being compressed, indicate this with a negative value for t. the answer should be in terms of m (mass) and g (gravity).

Since the bridge and all segments of it are static, the sum of the torques acting on any portion of the bridge you choose is zero for any pivot point you may choose. See if you can find a rigid portion of the bridge and a wisely chosen pivot to which you can apply this powerful fact.
Consider the triangular portion shown in bold and let x be the pivot. (This choice eliminates the torques due to the tensions in the beams that attach at point x.) Find the torques on this left hand triangle (which can be considered a solid piece because of the connections). Remember that counterclockwise torque is positive. Assume that the horizontal segment above   is being stretched, so that the force that the tension in this segment exerts on the bold triangle is directed to the right. Express the torque in terms of  T, L , and Fp.

Answer in terms of T and L :
Tt = (TL.sqrt 3) / 2
Summation Tx =  -LFp - T sqrt[L^2 - (L/2)^2]
The negative value of the tension shows that the segment is actually under a compressible load.  

If you're looking for an even spread of clay, silt and sand, add a considerable amount of sand and some clay until the 3 even out". soil texture triangle. silty clay loam soil is approximately 20 percent or less sand, 25 to 40 percent clay, and 40 to 70 percent silt.

Im not from america so could you explain what route 70 is? how much km or miles does it have? am i supposed to know ,from this text,what the s(road) is? how many km or miles it has?
