An upward load is applied to a circular rod that has a diameter of 10.25 mm. The rod is connected to the ground using a pin that has a diameter of 9.96 mm. If the average shear stress in the pin is limited to 165 MPa, determine the maximum load that can be applied to this connection.

Rigid beam ABC supports two rods that initially have no strain. If a temperature increase in rod (1) creates a normal strain of 3,969 μin./in. in it, determine the normal strain in rod (2). The initial lengths are a = 9 in., b = 12 in., c = 35 in., and d = 11 in. Assume there is no slack in the connections.

A steel [E = 200 GPa; ν = 0.3; α = 11.5 ×10-6/°C] plate has a rectangular hole at its center and four circular holes at the corners. At an initial temperature of Ti = –13°C, the plate is 85 mm wide, 125 mm long, and 12 mm thick. The rectangular hole is 35 mm wide and 70 mm long. The circular holes have a diameter of 16 mm. At a final temperature of Tf = 50°C, determine the width of the plate.
