Solve the following problems.

1. A steel rod having a cross-sectional area of 300 mm2 and a length of 150 m is
suspended vertically from one end. It supports a tensile load of 20 kN at the lower
end. If the unit mass of steel is 7850 kg/m3 and E = 200 × 103 MN/m2, find the total
elongation of the rod.

Solution
2. The following data were recorded during the tensile test of a 14-mm-diameter
mild steel rod. The gage length was 50 mm.

Plot the stress-strain diagram and determine the following mechanical properties: (a)
proportional limits; (b) modulus of elasticity; (c) yield point; (d) ultimate strength; and
(e) rupture strength.

Solution
3. A steel wire 30 ft long, hanging vertically, supports a load of 500 lb. Neglecting the
weight of the wire, determine the required diameter if the stress is not to exceed 20
ksi and the total elongation is not to exceed 0.20 in. Assume E = 29 × 106 psi.

Solution
4. An aluminum bar having a cross-sectional area of 0.5 in2 carries the axial loads
applied at the positions shown in Fig. P-209. Compute the total change in length of
the bar if E = 10 × 106 psi. Assume the bar is suitably braced to prevent lateral
buckling.

Solution
5. The rigid bar ABC shown in Fig. P-212 is hinged at A and supported by a steel rod
at B. Determine the largest load P that can be applied at C if the stress in the steel rod
is limited to 30 ksi and the vertical movement of end C must not exceed 0.10 in.
