Two thin rods, one made of steel and the other of aluminium, are joined end to end. Each rod is 2.0m long and has cross-sectional area 9.1mm2 . If a 10,000N tensile force is applied at each end of the combination, find: (a) stress in each rod; (b) strain in each rod; and, (c) elongation of each rod.
What Is Static Equilibrium? Problems 13 are grouped. 1. C A ball is attached to a strong, lightweight rod (Fig. P14.1). The rod is supported by a horizontal pin near the top. The ball is at rest. Is the ball in static equilibrium? If not, why not? If so, which type of equilibrium is itstable, unstable, or neutral? Hint: What would happen if you displaced the ball slightly? FIGURE P14.1

(a) What is the maximum force that can be exerted on the femur bone in the leg if it has a minimum effective diameter of 2.50 cm? (b) If this much force is applied compressively, by how much does the 25.0-cm-long bone shorten?

A uniform drawbridge must be held at a 37.5 ∘∘ angle above the horizontal to allow ships to pass underneath. The drawbridge weighs 45000 NN, is 16.5 mm long, and pivots about a hinge at its lower end. A cable is connected 3.00 mm from the hinge, as measured along the bridge, and pulls horizontally on the bridge to hold it in place. 1)What is the tension in the cable? 2)Find the magnitude of the force the hinge exerts on the bridge. 3)Find the direction of the force the hinge exerts on the bridge. 4)If the cable suddenly breaks, what is the initial angular acceleration of the bridge?
