Chapter 2.1, Problem 18P
The brass tube AB (E = 105 GPa) has a cross-sectional area of 140 mm2 and is fitted with a plug at A. The tube is attached at B to a rigid plate that is itself attached at C to the bottom of an aluminum cylinder (E = 72 GPa) with a cross-sectional area of 250 mm2. The cylinder is then hung from a support at D. In order to close the cylinder, the plug must move down through 1 mm. Determine the force P that must be applied to the cylinder.

The brass tube AB (E = 105 GPa) has a cross-sectional areaof 138 mm² and is fitted with a plug at A. The tube is attached atB to a rigid plate that is itself attached at C to the bottom of analuminum cylinder (E = 70 GPa) with a cross-sectional areaof 250 mm². The cylinder is then hung from a support at D. In orderto close the cylinder, the plug must move down through 1.2 mm. Determine the force P that must be applied to the cylinder.
The load of 2000 lb is to be supported by the two vertical steel wires for which sY = 70 ksi. Originally wire AB is 60 in. long and wire AC is 60.04 in. long. Determine the cross-sectional area of AB if the load is to be shared equally between both wires. Wire AC has a cross-sectional area of 0.02 in2. Est = 29.0(103) ksi.
A solid aluminum [E = 64 GPa] rod (1) is connected to a solid bronze [E = 114 GPa] rod (2) at flange B, as shown. Aluminum rod (1) has an outside diameter of 36 mm and bronze rod (2) has an outside diameter of 17 mm. The normal stress in the aluminum rod must be limited to 124 MPa, and the normal stress in the bronze rod must be limited to 92 MPa. Assume L1 = 168 mm and L2 = 399 mm.
