If rod (1) elongates 0.244 mm and rod (2) elongates 0.339 mm, determine how far downward E moves. Let a = 0.31 m and b = 0.83 m.

A 3D printer is used to create a shock absorbed composed of two polymers. Polymer (1) [E = 200 ksi] has a cross-sectional area of 1.2 in.2. Polymer (2) [E = 280 ksi] has a cross-sectional area of 1.2 in.2. After the shock absorber is loaded between steel plates by load P = 575 lb, determine the load carried by polymer (1).

Axial loads are applied with rigid bearing plates to the solid cylindrical rods. One load of P = 130 kN is applied to the assembly at A, two loads Q = 30 kN are applied at B, and two loads R = 170 kN are applied at C. Determine the total change in length of the assembly.L1 = 0.20 m, E1 = 192 GPa, A1 = 0.0013 m2L2 = 0.46 m, E2 = 206 GPa, A2 = 0.0005 m2L3 = 0.32 m, E3 = 106 GPa, A3 = 0.0015 m2

An upward load is applied to a square rod that has a width of 10.13 mm. The rod is connected to the ground using a pin that has a diameter of 9.11 mm. If the normal stress in the rod is limited to 165 MPa and the average shear stress in the pin is limited to 160 MPa, determine the maximum load that can be applied to this connection.

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 = 50 kN are applied at B, and two loads R = 170 kN are applied at C.
