Problem 3
Find the Young's modulus of brass rod of
diameter 25mm and of length 250mm which is
subjected to an tensile load of 50KN. When the
extension of the rod is 0.3mm.
Given : Diameter, d= 25mm
Length, L= 250 mm
Load, P = 50KN = 50 x 103N

Problem 4
• The safe stress for a hollow steel column
which carries an axial load of 2.1x 10 3KN is
125 MN/m2. If the external diameter of the
column is 30cm, determine the internal
diameter.
Note : Safe stress is stress which is within the
elastic limit.

Given : Safe stress σ = 125 MN/m2.

Axial Load, P = 2.1x 103KN = 2.1x 106 N .
External diameter = D = 30 cm = 0.3 m.
Solution : Let d is the internal diameter,
Area of hollow Cylinder,

PROBLEM 6
• A hollow cast iron cylinder 4m long, 300mm
outer diameter, and thickness of metal 50mm,
is subjected to a central load on the top when
standing straight. The stress produced is 75000
KN/m2. Assume Young's modulus for cast iron
as 1.5 x 108 KN/m2 and
Find (i)Magnitude of the load.
(ii) Longitudinal strain produced, and
(iii) total decrease in length.
GIVEN: Outer diameter D = 300 mm = 0.3 m
Thickness, t = 50 mm = 0.05m
Length, L = 4m
Stress produced, σ = 75000 KN/m2
E = 1.5 x 108 KN/m2
Inner diameter of the cylinder, d= D-2t = 0.3 – 2 x 0.05 = 0.2m
SOLUTION :
(i) Magnitude of the load P: Stress, σ = or P = σ x A

(ii) Longitudinal strain produced, e:

(iii) Total decrease in length ,
Strain, ϵ = =

Hence, decrease in length = 2mm
Problem 7
The ultimate stress for a hollow steel column
which carries an axial load of 1.9 MN is 480
N/mm2. If the external diameter of the column is
200mm, determine the internal diameter. Take
the factor of safety as 4.
Given : Ultimate stress = 480 N/mm2.
Axial load P = 1.9 MN = 1.9 x 106N
External diameter, D = 200mm
Factor of safety = 4
Solution :
Let ‘d’ be the internal diameter in mm
Area of Cross section of the column,
A= – d2] = – d2] mm2
WKT, Factor of Safety =
So, 4 =
RESULT :
The internal diameter d = 140.85 mm
Longitudinal Strain
• When a body is subjected to an axial or compressive
load, there is an axial deformation in the length of the
body.
• The ratio of axial deformation to the original length
of the body is known as “Longitudinal or Linear
Strain”.
Let L= Length of the body,
P= Tensile force acting on the body
ΔL = Increase in length of the body in the direction of P
Longitudinal Strain =
Lateral Strain
=μx
As lateral strain is opposite in sign to longitudinal strain,
hence algebraically the lateral strain is written as
= -μx
