Overview
I'm working on a engineering question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.
A round, steel 1-1/8” diameter rod, is 85 feet 6 inches in length, and supports an axial load (P) in tension. Calculate:
a) The maximum unit tensile stress in the rod, if the axial load (P) is 12,000 lb.
b) The maximum allowed load (P) on this rod, if the unit tensile stress must not exceed 25,000 psi.
c) The total elongation of the rod, if Ε= 30,000,000 psi using the maximum allowed load from part B.
