32. A steel rod with a cross-sectional area of 0.

25 in2 is stretched
between two fixed points. The tensile load at 70F is 1200 lb. What will
be the stress at 0F? At what temperature will the stress be zero?
Assume = 6.5 10-6 in / (inF) and E = 29 106 psi.
Ans.
= 18 ksi
T = 95.46 F

33. The rigid bar ABC in Fig. P-268 is pinned at B and attached to the
two vertical rods. Initially, the bar is horizontal and the vertical rods are
stress-free. Determine the stress in the aluminum rod if the
temperature of the steel rod is decreased by 40C. Neglect the weight
of bar ABC.

Ans.
Al = 9.45 MPa

34. The composite bar shown in Fig. P-273 is firmly attached to


unyielding supports. An axial force P = 50 kips is applied at 60F.
Compute the stress in each material at 120F. Assume = 6.5 106
in/(inF) for steel and 12.8 106 in/(inF) for aluminum.
Ans.
Al = 5 591.62 psi
St = 20 394.42 psi

35. A solid steel shaft is twists through an angle of 5o in 20 ft of length


because of the action of a torque. The ultimate strength and yield
strength of the shafting material are 20 ksi and 15 ksi respectively.
Assume a factor of safety 2 based on the yield point and endurance
strength in shear, determine the diameter of the shaft in inches. Take G
= 12 x 106 psi.
Ans.
d = 3.44 in

36. For the aluminum hollow shaft shown (G = 27 GPa), determine (a)
the torque T what causes an angle of twist of 4o, (b) the angle of twist
caused by the same torque T in a solid cylindrical shaft of the same
length and cross-sectional area.
Ans.
T = 199.5 N-m
= 10.40o

37. (a) Determine the torque that can be applied to a solid shaft of 3.6in diameter without exceeding an allowable shearing stress of 10 ksi.
(b) Solve part (a) assuming that the solid shaft has been replaced by a
hollow shaft of the same cross-sectional area and of 3.6-in inner
diameter.

Ans.
(a) T = 7.68 kip-ft
(b) T = 16.19 kip-ft
