A client asks you to construct an accent for her house. You use an iron wire, 0.75m long and 3.75x10^-3 cm^2 in cross sectional area, and hang a brass cube of mass 8 kg on one end. On the bottom of the brass cube, you attach a similar iron wire and hang another brass cube of mass 7.5 kg. If young's modulus of elasticity for iron is 21x10^10 Pa and that the weight of the iron wire is neglected. Determine the tensile stress, tensile strain and the elongation

Steve Roger measured a line and found it out to be 950 m long using a 20 – m tape under a steady pull of 4 kg at a mean temperature of 25°C. The tape was held in the air and supported at both ends and at the center. Determine the correct length of the line if the tape used is of standard length at 22°C under a pull of 6 kg. Assume the cross-sectional area of tape to be 0.05 cm2, modulus of elasticity as 2.10 x 10^6 kg/cm^2, weighs 0.08 kg/m, and a Coefficient of Thermal Expansion to be 0.0000116/°C.
