Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 1.12QP
The rectangular metal block shown in Figure P1.11 is subjected to tension within the elastic range. The increase in the length of a is 0.05 mm and the Poisson’s ratio for the material is 0.33. If the original lengths of a and b were 50 mm and 25 mm, respectively, what is the change in the length of b? Is this change expansion or contraction?

Determine the mass moment of inertia of the figure shown about the x,y, and z axis. The materials weighs 60 kN/m³.
The band in the figure below is stainless steel (coefficient of linear expansion = 17.3 ✕ 10−6°C−1; Young's modulus = 18 ✕ 1010 N/m2). It is essentially circular with an initial mean radius of 5.4 mm, a height of 4.4 mm, and a thickness of 0.51 mm. If the band just fits snugly over the tooth when heated to a temperature of 81°C, what is the tension in the band when it cools to a temperature of 37°C?
