A steel rod with a 1.25-in. gage length and a 0.165-in. diameter is loaded in tension. At the proportional limit, a load of 1,100 lb elongates the gage length by 0.00216 in. and reduces the diameter by 0.000074 in. Determine the Poisson’s ratio.

A load of P = 175 lb is applied to beam ABC. Determine the normal force in bar (1). Let a = 32 in., b = 16 in., and c = 10 in.

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.

A load of P = 435 lb is applied to beam ABC. Determine the vertical ground reaction at B. Let a = 28 in., b = 12 in., and c = 8 in.

Rigid beam ABC supports two rods that initially have no strain. If a temperature increase in rod (1) creates a normal strain of 2,533 μin./in. in it, determine the normal strain in rod (2). The initial lengths are a = 9 in., b = 12 in., c = 30 in., and d = 11 in. Assume there is no slack in the connections.

A load is applied to the central portion of a double-shear cutting fixture. Determine the load required to shear through a piece of brass that has length of 3.00 in., a semi-circular diameter of 0.790 in., and an average shear stress capacity of 22 ksi.

What are the stages of culturally related behaviors in the cultural continuum?

A load of P = 110 lb is applied to beam ABC. Bar (1) has a circular cross section with a diameter of 1.18 in. Determine the normal stress in bar (1). Let a = 29 in., b = 14 in., and c = 9 in.

A load of P = 160 lb is applied to beam ABC. Bar (1) has a circular cross section with a diameter of 0.92 in. Determine the normal stress in bar (1). Let a = 38 in., b = 13 in., and c = 8 in.
