MDB Assignment 3

The document discusses a steel rod under tension that is stretched between two fixed points. It provides information about the rod's length, cross-sectional area, tensile force applied, and material properties. It asks to calculate the temperature at which the stress in the rod will be 10 ksi and zero. It also discusses an aluminum and steel segment under a 70 kip force and asks for the temperature where they will have equal stress. Finally, it discusses a rigid bar connected to aluminum and steel rods and asks for the ratio of areas needed for the bar to remain horizontal at any temperature.

MECHANICS OF DEFORMABLE BODIES

Assignment 2
A steel rod 3 ft long with a cross-sectional area of 0.3 in.2 is stretched between two fixed
points. The tensile force in the rod is 1300 lb at 40oF. Using α = 6.5 x 10-6 / oF and E =
29 x 106 psi, calculate the temperature at which the stress in the rod will be
(a) 10 ksi; and
(b) zero.

At what temperature will the aluminum and steel segments shown have stresses of
equal magnitude after the 70-kip force is applied?

70 kips

The rigid bar AOB is pinned at O and connected to aluminum and steel rods. If the bar
is horizontal at a given temperature, determine the ratio of the areas of the two rods so
that the bar will be horizontal at any temperature. Neglect the mass of the bar.
