Rigid beam ABC supports two rods that initially have no strain. If a temperature increase in rod (1) creates a normal strain of 2,335 μin./in. in it, determine the normal strain in rod (2). The initial lengths are a = 10 in., b = 13 in., c = 32 in., and d = 8 in. Assume there is no slack in the connections.

A Great Value can weighs 1.13 lb and is 2.95 in. in diameter. A Libby’s can weighs 1.15 lb and is 2.90 in. in diameter. What is the largest bearing stress that occurs between the cans and the table? Assume each can has a smooth base and sits flat on the table.

Rigid beam ABC supports two rods that initially have no strain. If a temperature increase in rod (1) creates a normal strain of 3,337 μin./in. in it, determine the normal strain in rod (2). The initial lengths are a = 9 in., b = 14 in., c = 36 in., and d = 8 in. Assume there is no slack in the connections.
