Problem 2.14(10 pts) The-4 mm-diameter cable BC is made of a steel with E= 200 GPa. Knowing
that the maximum stress in the cable must not exceed 190 MPa and that the elongation of the
cable must not exceed 6 mm, find the maximum load P that can be applied as shown.

Problem 2.18(10 pts) The brass tube AB (E = 105 GPa) has a cross-sectional area of 140 mm2 and
is fitted with a plug at A. The tube is attached at B to a rigid plate that is itself attached at C to the
bottom of an aluminum cylinder (E = 72 GPa) with a cross-sectional area of 250 mm2. The cylinder
is then hung from a support at D. In order to close the cylinder, the plug must move down through
1 mm. Determine the force P that must be applied to the cylinder.

Problem 2.52(10 pts). A rod consisting of two cylindrical portions AB and BC is restrained at both
ends. Portion AB is made of brass (Eb = 105 GPa, αb = 20.9 X 10-6/℃) and portion BC is made of
aluminum (Ea = 72 GPa, αa = 23.9 X 10-6/℃). Knowing that the rod is initially unstressed, determine

145 MPa, determine (a) the diameter d of the largest bit that can be used if the allowable load P at
the hole is to exceed that at the fillets, (b) the corresponding allowable load P.
