- Two rods, one made of copper and the other of steel, have the same dimensions. If the copper rod stretches by 0.15mm under some stress, how much does the steel rod stretch under the same stress?arrow_forwardAlarge uniform cylindrical steel rod of density =7.8g/cm3 is 2.0 m long and has a diameter of 5.0 cm. the rod is fastened to a concrete floor with its long axis vertical.what is the normal stress in the rod at the cross-section located at (a)1.0 mfrom its lower end?(b)1.5 m from the lower end?arrow_forwardReview the relationship between stress and strain. Can you find any similarities between the two quantities?arrow_forward
- 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 P14.1arrow_forwardThe keystone of an arch is the stone at the top (Fig. P14.9). It is supported by forces from its two neighbors, blocks A and B. Each block has mass m and approximate length L. What can you conclude about the force exerted by each block, FA and FB, for the keystone to remain in static equilibrium? That is, show that the equilibrium conditions are satisfied by the components of the forces FAx, FAy, FBx, and FBy. Assume the arch is symmetric.

- A suspender rod of a suspension bridge is 25.0 m long. If the rod is made of steel, what must its diameter be so that it does not stretch more than 1.0 cm when a 2.5104kg tuck passes by it? Assume that the rod supports all of the weight of the truck.arrow_forwardWhen the structure shown below is supported at point P, it is in equilibrium. Find the magnitude .of force F and the force applied at P. the weight of the structure is negligible.arrow_forwardsuppose the length L of the uniform bar is 3.00 m and its weight is 200 N. Also, let the block’s weight W = 300 N and the angle u = 30.0°. The wire can withstand a maximum tension of 500 N. (a) What is the maximum possible distance x before the wire breaks? With the block placed at this maximum x, what are the (b) horizontal and (c) vertical components of the force on the bar from the hinge at A?arrow_forward
- Two men are carrying a ladder of length l by supporting it at its ends. The ladder is horizontal, and its center of gravity is 1/4 of the way from one end. At what distance x from this end must a can of paint, of mass 3/4 of that of the ladder, be suspended so that the men carry equal loads?arrow_forwardA non-uniform rod of length 1.00 m is hung horizontally, supported by strings on bothends. If the center of gravity of the rod is 0.200 m from the left end, what is themagnitude of the tension applied by the string on the right end of the rod? A. 50% of the weight of the rod B.
