- In a standard tensile test, a steel rod of 22-mm diameter is subjected to a tension force of 75 kN. Knowing that ν=0.30 and E=200 GPa, determine (a) the elongation of the rod in a 200-mm gage length, (b) the change in diameter of the rodarrow_forwardThe 981-kg uniform bar AB is suspended from two cables AC and BD each with cross-sectional area 339 mm2. Find the location x (in mm) of P that can be safely applied to the bar if the stresses in AC and BD are limited to 119 MPa and 52 MPa, respectively. Express your answer in two decimal places.arrow_forwardA steel plate 5/16 in. thick is embedded in a horizontal concrete slab and is used to anchor a high-strength vertical cable as shown. The diameter of the hole in the plate is 3/4in., the ultimate strength of the steel used is 36 ksi, and the ultimate bonding stress between plate and concrete is 300 psi. Knowing that a factor of safety of 3.60 is desired when P = 2.5 kips, determine (a) the required width a of the plate,(b) the minimum depth b to which a plate of that width should be embedded in the concrete slab.
