Problem Set 1

This document is a problem set for the ES 206 course on Mechanics of Deformable Bodies at the University of Science and Technology of Southern Philippines. It includes five problems related to calculating maximum normal stress, allowable values for columns, average normal stress in truss members, stress in cables, and determining the mass of a uniform cylinder under specific stress conditions. Each problem requires knowledge of engineering principles and calculations related to material mechanics.
