Chapter 18, Problem 16P

Review. On a day that the temperature is 20.0°C, a concrete walk is poured in such a way that the ends of the walk are unable to move. Take Young’s modulus for concrete to be 7.00 × 109 N/m2 and the compressive strength to be 2.00 × 109 N/m2. (a) What is the stress in the cement on a hot day of 50.0°C? (b) Does the concrete fracture?

A plastic bar ACB having two different solid circular sections is held between rigid supports as shown in the figure. The diameters in the left- and right-hand parts are 50 mm and 75 mm, respectively. The corresponding lengths are 230 mm and 320 mm. The modulus of elasticity E is 6 GPa & the coefficient of thermal expansion α is 10-4 /0C. The bar is subjected to uniform temperature increase of 300C. Determine: i. maximum compressive stress in the bar. ii. displacement of point C.
A 480 mm long thighbone (femur), which is the largest and longest bone in the human body, has a cross sectional area of 7.7 × 10–4 m2. A safety factor of 4 applies and the maximum compressional stress that a bone can withstand is 1.6 × 108 N/m2 before it breaks. Young’s Modulus (E ) of a bone at room temperature is 15 × 109 Pa. How much will it compress to support a weight of 1.2 × 105 N?
A copper wire of length 2.2m and a steel wire of length 1.6m both of diameter 3.0mm, are connected end to end. When stretched by a load , the net elongation is found to be 0.70mm . Obtain the given load (given Yc=1.1*10 11N/m2)
