Explanation of Solution

Calculation:

Consider the general U.S. standard wrench sizes in ‘in.’:

The sizes are listed below which are normally used in U.S.

1/4'',5/16'',7/16'',1/2'',9/16'',5/8'',3/4'',13/16'',15/16'',1-1/8'',1-5/16'',1-1/2''

,1-11/16'',1-7/8''

The calculation for wrench size in metric and U.S. units are shown below:

For the wrench size 1/4'':

Convert the wrench size from inch to mm,

1/4''=0.25in.=0.25in.×25.4mm1in.[1in.=25.4mm]=6.35mm

Convert the wrench size from inch to foot as,

1/4''=0.25in.=0.25in.×0.0833ft1in[1in=0.0833ft]=0.0208ft

For the wrench size 5/16'':

Convert the wrench size from inch to mm,

5/16''=0.3125in.=0.3125in.×25.4mm1in.=7.937mm

Convert the wrench size from inch to foot as,

5/16''=0.25in.=0.3125in.×0.0833ft1in=0.026ft

For the wrench size 7/16'':

Convert the wrench size from inch to mm,

7/16''=0.4375in.=0.4375in.×25.4mm1in.=11.11mm

Convert the wrench size from inch to foot as,

7/16''=0.4375in.=0.4375in.×0.0833ft1in=0.036ft

For the wrench size 1/2'':

Convert the wrench size from inch to mm,

1/2''=0.5in.=0.5in.×25.4mm1in.=12.7mm

Convert the wrench size from inch to foot as,

1/2''=0.5in.=0.5in.×0.0833ft1in=0.042ft

For the wrench size 9/16'':

Convert the wrench size from inch to mm,

9/16''=0.5625in.=0.5625in.×25.4mm1in.=14.28mm

Convert the wrench size from inch to foot as,

9/16''=0.5625in.=0.5625in.×0.0833ft1in=0.046ft

For the wrench size 5/8'':

Convert the wrench size from inch to mm,

5/8''=0.625in.=0.625in.×25.4mm1in.=15.87mm

Convert the wrench size from inch to foot as,

5/8''=0.625in.=0.625in.×0.0833ft1in=0.052ft

For the wrench size 3/4'':

Convert the wrench size from inch to mm,

3/4''=0.75in.=0.75in.×25.4mm1in.=19.05mm

Convert the wrench size from inch to foot as,

3/4''=0.75in.=0.75in.×0.0833ft1in=0.062ft

For the wrench size 13/16'':

Convert the wrench size from inch to mm

13/16''=0.8125in.=0.8125in.×25.4mm1in.=20.63mm

Convert the wrench size from inch to foot

13/16''=0.8125in.=0.8125in.×0.0833ft1in=0.067ft

For the wrench size 1516":

Convert the wrench size from inch to mm,

15/16''=0.9375in.=0.9375in.×25.4mm1in.=23.81mm

Convert the wrench size from inch to foot as,

15/16''=0.9375in.=0.9375in.×0.0833ft1in=0.078ft

For the wrench size 1-1/8'':

Convert the wrench size from inch to mm

1-1/8''=98"=1.125in.×25.4mm1in.=28.57mm

Convert the wrench size from inch to foot

1-1/8''=98"=1.125in.×0.0833ft1in=0.093ft

For the wrench size 1-5/16'':

Convert the wrench size from inch to mm

1-5/16''=2116"=1.3125in.×25.4mm1in.=33.33mm

Convert the wrench size from inch to foot

1-5/16''=2116"=1.3125in.×0.0833ft1in=0.109ft

For the wrench size 1-1/2'':

Convert the wrench size from inch to mm

1-1/2''=32"=1.5in.×25.4mm1in.=38.1mm

Convert the wrench size from inch to foot as,

1-1/2''=32"=1.5in.×0.0833ft1in=0.124ft

For the wrench size 1-11/16'':

Convert the wrench size from inch to mm,

1-11/16''=2716"=1.6875in.×25.4mm1in.=42.86mm

Convert the wrench size from inch to foot as,

1-11/16''=2716"=1.6875in.×0.0833ft1in=0.14ft

For wrench size 1-7/8'':

Convert the wrench size from inch to mm

1-7/8''=158"=1.875in.×25.4mm1in.=47.62mm

Convert the wrench size from inch to foot

1-7/8''=158"=1.875in.×0.0833ft1in=0.156ft

Tthe calculated wrench sizes in metric and U.S. units are tabulated in Table 1.

Table 1

U.S. standard wrench sizes (in.)Metric (mm)U.S. units (ft)
1/4"6.350.0208
5/16"7.9370.026
7/16"11.110.036
1/2"12.70.042
9/16"14.280.046
5/8"15.870.052
3/4"19.050.062
13/16"20.630.067
15/16"23.810.078
1-1/8"28.570.093
1-5/16"33.330.109
1-1/2"38.10.124
1-11/16"42.860.14
1-7/8"47.620.156

Conclusion:

Thus, the standard wrench sizes in metric and U.S. units are calculated and tabulated in Table 1.

The structures in the following problems are single-story, one-bay assemblies representing one common lateral force- resisting systems used in buildings: Moment-Resisting Frames (MRFS). Each frame is fix-connected at its base. Your tasks are as follows: 1. 2. Solve for the support reactions (vertical, lateral, and moment) under the applied lateral load. Determine member end forces (axial, shear, and moment) for all relevant structural members.

Each frame is fix-connected at its base. Your tasks are as follows: Solve for the support reactions (vertical, lateral, and moment) under the applied lateral load. Determine member end forces (axial, shear, and moment) for all relevant structural members. 1. 2. 3. Draw internal force diagrams (bending moment) for the required elements. 4. Determine the lateral deflection of joint B Be sure to clearly label your diagrams and show all work leading to your solutions. You must use the slope deflection equations to solve the problem, otherwise it will take forever. Use dimensions referenced to elements' centerlines. You shall neglect axial and shear induced deformations.
