The A992 steel angle has a cross-sectional area of A = 2.48 in2 and a radius of gyration about the x axis of rx = 1.26 in. and about the y axis of ry = 0.879 in. The smallest radius of gyration occurs about the a-a axis and is ra = 0.644 in. If the angle is to be used as a pin-connected 10-ft-long column, determine the largest axial load that can be applied through its centroid C without causing it to buckle.

- A 37.5-mm-diameter rod 6 mlong elongates 12 mm under a load 236 KN. Thediameter of the rod decreases 0.025 mm during theloading. Determine the following properties of thematerial: (a) Poisson’s ratio.(b) Young’s modulus(c) The modulus of rigidity.arrow_forwardThe bearings at A and D exert only y and z components of force on the shaft as shown in Fig 7. Determine the smallest diameter of the shaft using maximum shear stress hypothesis theory if the allowable stress is 100 MPa.arrow_forwardThe steel rod has Young’s modulus of 200GPa. Its cross-sectional area is uniform and A=60 ????2, Calculate the displacement of points A and B.arrow_forward
- A hollow circular column of 200 mm external and 160 mm internal diameter is subject to anaxial compressive load of 150 kN with an eccentricity of 25 mm from the centroidal axis.The column is 5.0 m long and both ends fixed.

- The relay switch consists of a thin metal strip or armature AB that is made of red brass C83400 and is attracted to the solenoid S by a magnetic field. Determine the smallest force F required to attract the armature at C in order that contact is made at the free end B. Also, what should the distance a be for this to occur?

A 0.75-in.- diameter rod CD is welded to the center of the beam and to the fixed support at D. If the temperature of the rod is decreased by 150°F, determine the force developed in the rod. The beam and rod are both made of A-36 steel.arrow_forwardThe two force components act on the tire of the automobile. The tire is fixed to the axle, which is supported by bearings at A and B. Determine the maximum deflection of the axle. Assume that the bearings resist only verticalloads. The thrust on the axle is resisted at C.
