PROBLEMS FOR CHAPTER 6

P6.1.

The common rafters on a particular structure have a 5-1/2

pitch

and a run of 13

-4

. Find the rise, length, plumb and level cut

angles for these rafters.

P6.2.

For common rafters having a rise of 8

-5

and a run of 15

-3

,

determine the pitch (in inches and degrees), length, plumb and
level cut angles.

P6.3.

Common rafters on a shed roof have a 4

pitch and a rise of 3

-8

.

Calculate the run, length, plumb and level cut angles for these
rafters.

P6.4.

A conventional roof has two sections containing common rafters
with a 6

pitch and 15

-9

run. For these common rafters, find the

pitch (in degrees), length, plumb and level cut angles. Also
determine the length; plumb, level, and cheek cut angles for hip
and valley rafters used to join the two roof sections.

P6.5.

For the roof of problem P6.4, calculate all hip jack lengths for a
spacing of 16

o.c. . Repeat for 24

o.c. .

P6.6.

A conventional roof has a 12

pitch and an 8

run. Calculate the

pitch (in inches), length, plumb and level cut angles for all
hip/valley rafters used on this roof.

P6.7.

For the roof of problem P6.6, find the lengths of all jacks at a
spacing of 24

o.c. .

P6.8.

An irregular roof contains one section whose common rafters have
a 5

pitch and a run of 11

-8

, and another section having a pitch of

6-1/2

. Find the length, plumb, level and cheek cut angles for all

regular and irregular jacks to be used on this roof if their spacing is
24

o.c. throughout.

P6.9.

A rake wall with no base has a 4

-6

rise and a 14

-0

run. Find the

lengths of all rake-wall studs at 24

o.c., as well as the cheek angle

to be cut at the top of each stud.

P6.10.

A rake wall with an 8

-4

base has a 5-1/2

pitch and a run of

9

-10

. Determine the rake-wall stud lengths at 16

o.c., and the

cheek cut angle for these studs.
