Straight rods of 0.30-in. diameter and 200-ft length are sometimes used to clear underground conduits of obstructions or to thread wires through a new conduit. The rods are made of high-strength steel and, for storage and transportation, are wrapped on spools of 5-ft diameter. Assuming that the yield strength is not exceeded, determine (a) the maximum stress in a rod, when the rod, which was initially straight, is wrapped on the spool, (b) the corresponding bending moment in the rod. Use E= 29 * 106 psi.
Knowing that the average normal stress in member EF of the Pratt bridge truss shown must not exceed 8.36 ksi for the given loading, determine the cross-sectional area (in sq. in) of this member that will yield the most economical and safe design if h = 14.2 ft and P = 87.28 kips.
The horizontal link BC is 6.35 mm thick, has a width w = 31.8 mm, and is made of steel with ultimate tensile strength equal to 483 MPa. What should be the factor of safety to be used if the structure shown is designed to support a load P = 44.5 kN.

The smallest diameter that can be used is ___mm?
A glue-laminated column of 3-m effective length is to be made from boards of 24 x 100-mm cross section.

A solid aluminum [E = 64 GPa] rod (1) is connected to a solid bronze [E = 114 GPa] rod (2) at flange B, as shown. Aluminum rod (1) has an outside diameter of 36 mm and bronze rod (2) has an outside diameter of 17 mm. The normal stress in the aluminum rod must be limited to 124 MPa, and the normal stress in the bronze rod must be limited to 92 MPa. Assume L1 = 168 mm and L2 = 399 mm. Determine: (a) the maximum downward load P that may be applied at flange B. (Answer: P = 146kN)(b) the deflection vB (downward is positive) of flange B at the load determined in part(a). (Answer: vB = .322 mm)
Each of the two vertical links CF connecting the two horizontal members AD and EG has a 10x40-mm uniform rectangular cross section and is made of a steel with an ultimate strength in tension of 400 MPa,while each of the pins at C and F has a 20-mm diameter and is made of a steel with an ultimate strength in shear of 150 MPa.
