Two pieces of high-density polyethylene [E = 0.94 GPa] tubing are fitted together and firmly clamped at their ends. A load of 107 N is applied to the fitting. Tube (1) is 140 mm long, and tube (2) is 100 mm long. Both tubes have an outsider diameter of 23.0 mm and an inside diameter of 18.4 mm. Determine the load carried by tube (2).

Axial loads are applied with rigid bearing plates to the solid cylindrical rods. One load of P = 120 kN is applied to the assembly at A, two loads Q = 20 kN are applied at B, and two loads R = 160 kN are applied at C. Determine the total change in length of the assembly.L1 = 0.28 m, E1 = 194 GPa, A1 = 0.0014 m2L2 = 0.44 m, E2 = 202 GPa, A2 = 0.0005 m2L3 = 0.32 m, E3 = 106 GPa, A3 = 0.0016 m2
